Support for Delphi 10.4

[JeffBurroughs 0]

Installed latest Delphi 10.4.

 

When I try and compile a project that uses otlparralel I get these errors

Using latest 3.07.7 omnithreadlibrary download.

 

Is this my issue or a problem that needs patching in otlparallel?

If you remark out line 3884 it gets it all compiling and running, but I assume with memory leaks.  Although doing some tests with lots of parallel loops does not seem to have any serious leaks?

 

procedure TOmniFuture<T>.Execute(action: TOmniTaskDelegate; taskConfig: IOmniTaskConfig);
begin
  FTask := CreateTask(action, 'TOmniFuture action');
  Parallel.ApplyConfig(taskConfig, FTask);
  FTask.Unobserved;
  if assigned(FTask.CancellationToken) and FTask.CancellationToken.IsSignalled then begin
    FCancelled := true;
    //FreeAndNil(FTask);  //REMARK THIS LINE
  end
  else
    Parallel.Start(FTask, taskConfig);
end; { TOmniFuture<T>.Execute }

No memory leak, FTask is an interface reference. FreeAndNil should never have been called on it.

OK, great.  Makes an easy fix for otlparallel to support 10.4 then.

Since remarking that line all of the parallel loop tests I have tried run perfectly.

You already fixed the issue, but that issue is already fixed in Omni Thread, too. 

 

There is newer version in the making, not released yet, but it has fixes and packages for 10.4. Last commit was just 4 days ago.

When new Delphi release comes out and you find issues with some of the libraries you are using, it is good to recheck library for updates. Keep in mind that libraries cannot be publicly updated before official release and sometimes takes a few days to have those patches and fixes generally available.

Thank you, @Dalija Prasnikar, I just wanted to post exactly that 🙂

 

New release should go out this weekend.
