Issue with UsesCleaner..

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

This sources were initially provided in this thread: 64 bit compiler running out of memory 

The current thread is more or less a follow up of the former.

 

There are plans to put the project on GutHub when I find some time.

@Uwe Raabe  What's the chances of UsesCleaner being able to process .dpr files??

Just a thought bubble... ;-)

Well, uses clauses in dpr files are a bit special.

• They are always formatted as one line per unit.
• The unit name can be followed by an in construct followed by a file name.
• After that can be a form name or a frame or datamodule declaration.
• Reordering the dpr uses clause can have severe impacts on the functionality of the program.

Given that the support for dpr files would probably have to be restricted to resolving aliases and expanding unit scope names.

 

Just curious, have you tried formatting a dpr with settings Compressed = 0 and GroupNames empty?

HI Uwe,

I hadn't, but now did.  It still made the project unusable.

Whilst there may be a convention about the structure of the Uses clauses, one-line per, I'm not fussed. ;-)

When I loaded the Project, the 'ProjectGroup' had gone from attached screenshot_4 to screenshot_3. :-(

Don't sweat it.  It was just a thought bubble.

Can you provide the original dpr file?

[Ian Branch 127]

Sure.  I suspect that is not all involved though.

Here you go.

DBiWorkflow.dpr

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

OK, the IFDEF looks suspicious. Will have a look later.

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

It was not the IFDEF, but the parsing of a form unit in the uses clause failed. Can you give this version a try, please?

BTW, the sources are now on GitHub: https://github.com/UweRaabe/UsesCleaner (documentation still has to be done)

Hi Uwe,

I have a project Group with 18 projects, including DBiWorkflow.  I ran UsesCleaner over the group.

1.  Edited .cfg to make Compressed = 0 & GroupNames empty - No issues building or running the Apps.

2.  Edited .cfg to make Compressed = 1 - No issues building or running the Apps.

3.  Edited the GroupNames back in. - No issues building or running the Apps.

Attached for your reference is the DBiWorkflow.dpr and the UsesCleaner.cfg from this exercise.

Thank you.

Regards,

Ian

That is probably because of these new lines:

 

    if MatchText(TPath.GetExtension(SourceName), ['.dpr', '.dpk']) then begin
      UsesHelper.Compressed := False;
      UsesHelper.GroupNames := '';
    end;

That will do it every time. ;-)
