At least I can find it in my installation. So it is not missing files in delivery.

[qubits 20]

Well, not lying..

was there, now it's not..

[qubits 20]

found it in my berlin install, copied it to my 22.0\help\Doc

now it shows..

Can you find something suspicious in the GetItInstall.log located in $(BDSCOMMONDIR) ?

Now for the really strange..

 

after compiling with new update, seems like a leak has appeared in all three apps for spaceballz.

 

not sure what it is yet, tired..

 

just tried new, blank 3d app, form create ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutDown:=True;

run app, close it, error appears??

 

also tried blank vcl, no error..

blank fmx app non 3d, error is there..

 

can anyone else confirm?

 

 

Edited March 18, 2022 by qubits

[qubits 20]

64 bit fmx apps, a bit more..

@qubits You should report that on QP.  Are you able to make a minimal project that shows the same leak?

You don't need to. There are already plenty of reports for this issue:

At least people seem to actually use QP now - even if not all of us bothers checking for existing issues 😛

if i include FMX.TextLayout.GPU in my uses

and add this line to the form.close

TGPUObjectsPool.Instance.Free;

 

the leak is gone..

 

should add, also fixes the console sample that was in the qc's.

 

wrap it up like this maybe, using that cool little if you posted..

{$IF RTLVersion111}

TGPUObjectsPool.Instance.Free;

{$ENDIF}

so, this works too, until it's fixed by a proper plumber..

You joke about this, but they really think that way! Several years ago when Google Plus still existed, someone in the Delphi group (it wasn't you, was it?) posted a graph they'd made showing bugs closed over time... or maybe it was showing how long until bugs were closed; I forget which. Marco Cantu made a rather aggressive reply to the post that the chart was all wrong because of something (I don't remember), and he was going to post the real graph on his blog. The original poster was very gracious, apologizing for their mistake and looking forward to Marco's blog post.

 

A blog post shows up from Marco purporting to show bugs closed over time and the trend for how long bugs stay open, each looking really nice for Embarcadero. I realize that his chart is conflating actual bugs with bugs closed because of duplicate, feature request, won't fix, can't reproduce, etc. I (and some others) used the blog commenting option to explain this to Marco. Marco declined to approve any of these comments. Instead, he appended a few sentences claiming to summarize what some people had written about the subject. At least in my case, I felt his summary was inadequate and skipped several problems I'd pointed out. His only "fix" was to keep the chart up and just change the word "Bugs" to "Issues" in the title.

 

Now, I was working in data analysis at that time. I was able to back into the actual closed bug counts based on information from his blog post (but not the correct data for average time to close a bug). I made my own chart with the revised numbers; the trend was the opposite from the one on Marco's blog. I shared a link to that chart for him; of course he never approved that comment either and his summary didn't mention that when you took the other non-bugs out the chart trended in the exact opposite direction as the one he posted. Ironically, he claimed to be showing a more accurate version of the data than the chart on Google Plus but his was far less so.

 

Ultimately I realized the purpose of his blog wasn't to actually determine the trend regarding bugs and bug fixes in Delphi over time but to perform damage control over the chart presented in Google Plus. 😞 There's no other explanation for leaving his charts after being made aware of why they were inaccurate and how they skewed the results.

Marco is not free in his communication neither on his blog nor in any public forums. Embarcadero has a very strict policy on what and where employees are allowed to post. It also applies to other people associated with the company, like beta testers and even MVPs. They have to agree to a very strict NDA. That's why a few years ago, after reading that NDA I decided not to become an MVP. I also suspect that this is the reason why many people who were blogging a lot about Delphi quieted down when they got more closely associated with Embarcadero, e.g. they sold tools to them or even became employees. If you have to get approval for every single blog post you probably won't bother any more.
