How can I get the list of registered interfaces and their GUIDs in a Delphi 2007 application?

[dummzeuch 1505]

I want to get a list of interfaces registered in a Delphi 2007 application (with code from within that application) in order to check for possible duplicate GUIDs.

There is a solution on GitHub which uses the System.RTTI unit, but unfortunately that unit is not available in Delphi 2007.

Is it possible to do without?

Too many of my questions on SO have been closed for me to rely solely on SO any more.

Off-topic, but actually, that is multi-posting.

 

Cross-posting is posting to several newgroups on the same server, with one single post (i.e. the single post has multiple targets and a reply in one group will usually appear in the other groups too, unless the reply was specifically set up not to do that).

There are no newsgroups here.

What about the people who you are asking for help?

 

I would post on one site first, and if you don't get a good response, then post elsewhere, with link to the first place.

I believe there is no way without RTTI. The only things you can do is to recompile your code with a version of Delphi that has RTTI support. Or you might need to write a simple script that generates a unique GUID table and then using regular-expression you can find all your defined GUID and replace them with the new one.

I use a freeware tool called "agent ransack" which is brilliant for quickly finding strings in whole directory trees. It also has a regular expressions option and it is lightning fast.  What's especially nice about Agent Ransack is that you can drag&drop the search results onto an editor like Notepad++ and then perform a bulk search&replace inside all opened files.

Different posts were posted to different kinds of media (here, S.O.) on different servers. That is not cross-posting.
