Website updates following release of Delphi 13

Now that Delphi 13 Florence is out, I've updated delphidabbler.com to bring relevant pages up to date. The changes are:

  • The Delphi Version Numbers page has been updated with relevant information about Delphi 13. The most notable change is that the product version has now been brought into line with the compiler version, internal version and defined symbol. This means the product version has jumped from Delphi 12's version 29 to 37.

  • The Delphi Version Features page has had numerous additions relating to features introduced in Delphi 13. If you know of any more please tell me by raising a new issue on GitHub (no C++ stuff though!).

  • Article #27 (How to programatically detect installed versions of Delphi) has been updated to include Delphi 13 in the list Delphi versions than can be detected. The notable change is that, due to the change in version numbering noted above, the registry key for Delphi 13 has changed similarly. For e.g. Delphi 12's key is \Software\Embarcadero\BDS\23.0 while for Delphi 13 it is \Software\Embarcadero\BDS\37.0.

    The demo code associated with the article has also been updated to include detection of Delphi 13.

Focus On: Deleaker - a Delphi, C++ & C# Memory Leak Detector

Image
A week or so ago Artem Razin got in touch with me to ask if I'd take a look at his  Deleaker  program and mention it in my blog. I agreed and this blog is about how I've been using it and what I've discovered. This is by no means a definitive account of how to use the program and I'm far from an expert user. For the final word on this program, see the Deleaker docs . You can get a free trial and pricing info from the Deleaker Website . Deleaker stand-alone window Disclosure This is the first blog I've written about a commercial third party program. For the sake of transparency I want to disclose that  I received a free license for this product from Artem, for which I'm grateful. Offer to other developers I'm happy to offer to blog about other useful development software (or Delphi libraries) from other small developers. For more info see my " Promoting Delphi developers & applications? " blog post. So what is it? Deleaker is memory leak detecto...

Initialising dynamic arrays

When writing some unit tests a while ago I found myself needing to initialise some dynamic arrays with test data. It would be nice if we could do something like this: var A : array of Integer ; begin A := ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) ; // !! WRONG end ; but we can't. So I decided to write some functions to initialise dynamic arrays to the contents of another array, be it a constant, a literal or another dynamic array. The result was a set of overloaded routines, one for each data type I needed to handle, for example for Integer and string arrays I had: function CloneArray ( const A : array of Integer ) : TIntegerDynArray ; overload ; var Idx : Integer ; begin SetLength ( Result , Length ( A ) ) ; for Idx := Low ( A ) to High ( A ) do Result [ Idx - Low ( A ) ] := A [ Idx ] ; end ; function CloneArray ( const A : array of string ) : TStringDynArray ; overload ; var Idx : Integer ; begin SetLength ( Result , Len...

CodeSnip 4.27.0 released with Delphi 13 support

Image
And finally ... after a few updates to reflect the release of Delphi 13 Florence , last but not least we have an update to CodeSnip . This program can test compile snippets with any Delphi compiler installed on the host computer, along with Free Pascal. But every time there's a new Delphi release CodeSnip has to be modified to be able to use it. I wish there was a config file to update, but it's not that simple with this ancient code base! So, CodeSnip 4.27.0 knows about the existence of Delphi 13, can use it for test compilation, can record the results of such compilations in its databases and can emit code that selectively turns warnings on and off for the compiler. That's the only new feature of this release. The docs and help file have been suitably updated. ➣  Download the v4.27.0 release from GitHub . BTW the first time you run this new version after installing Delphi 13, CodeSnip will notice and will offer to configure itself to use the new compiler, unless you'v...
