Variable Hints

[dts 0]

Hello. I want to see variable hints in debug mode. With English characters, hints appear in their proper places. Everything shifts in other languages. The cursor is over one variable and the tooltip comes from another variable.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
 const
  મોટી_શરૂઆત: TDateTime = 43866.08334;
begin
 var
  વીતેલા_દિવસોની_સંખ્યા := DaysBetween(Now,મોટી_શરૂઆત);
end;

Are there ways to fix this?

While it is a nice thing to be able to use your own charset during development, it is something I would never encourage or do myself. You will never be able to have someone outside your language read and understand your code. That said, this is a bug and you should just report it in the Quality Portal: https://quality.embarcadero.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

@Pat FoleySorry, I don't get it

The idea is code in English, then use Tool tip comment in local dialect as mnemonic.

 

/// <summary>
///  ateB + aplA = ammaG
/// </summary>
procedure TForm18.AddABtoC;
begin
  var a := 1;
  var b := 2;
  var c := -1;
  c := a + b;
end;

Oh! OK, sure, that'll work just fine. 👍

But the underlying point is if a manufacturer chooses to implement a feature, he should fix the bugs.

In this case the feature is the ability to write identifiers in Unicode, but I would rather call that an abomination than a feature.

[Sherlock 663]

True for more than one reason.

Translit is another compromise option
