One of the reasons it is so hard to write ARC a compatible source base is that there is no Delphi ARC win32 compiler. So you have to debug your memory issues using the remote debugging capabilities which – besides very slow – are unstable at best.
This is the number 1 reason I have been asking for a Delphi ARC win32 compiler integrated with the native Delphi win32 debugger (in addition to the current Win32 non-ARC compiler). Hopefully [WayBack] A second example of memory usage/leaks on linux using TTask (but only running one at a time) inside a loop will show memory usage increasing depending o… – Andrew Pratt – Google+ will give Embarcadero more motivation to eventually develop one.
This besides the fact that anyone writing for ARC should buy+read [WayBack] Delphi Memory Management eBook for classic and ARC compilers
via [WayBack] I have some questions about Linux & ARC and I’m hoping some experts can share their expertise because I’m not understand the results I’m seeing. For th… – Andrew Pratt – Google+
