RAD Studio 13 is available

I don't understand why a 32-bit IDE can generate 64-bit EXE files, but a 64-bit IDE can't do the same and generate 32-bit ones?

 

This is something that should be done.

It's a work in progress. The plan is for the 64-bit IDE to eventually be able to do everything the 32-bit IDE can.

There's been a lot of discussion about this. Here's what I offer: https://corneliusconcepts.tech/code-formatting-delphi-13

These are the known alternatives:
- GExperts
- pasfmt
- CnPack/CnWizards
- Workaround for old formatter by David Cornelius

- Jedi Code Formatting Fork

 

Am I missing any?

Does any of them keep the bookmarks?

It used to be a big disadvantage that the bookmarks disappeared. (Many many years ago)

That seems to be a hard requirement to fulfill, seeing as bookmarks (IIRC) are tied to line numbers and line numbers may change after formatting.

So all of them useless.

It is just an assumption on my part. I just checked with some searches, and it seems that there is more to bookmarks and how the IDE handles them than I thought. And they should be preserved through automated code formatting when used inside the IDE. The will break or get lost though, if a pas file is formatted outside the IDE.

GExperts tries very hard, but is not perfect. The same for Breakpoints.

I updated that code "recently" (a year ago?) so it became a lot better, but still not perfect.

I just tried with the external formatter and while it kept a breakpoint (one line off because of changes in the code that changed where the line was), all the bookmarks were removed.

Janky scrolling in Delphi 13, any options to set this? Deferred scroll rendering is annoying.
