Where does it put the XML file, and what is it called? I can’t find it (10.2.2)
HeartWare said
Okay – found them. They’re called .symbol_report and not .xml and are located in the standard output directory (where your .EXE file ends up).
Andrew Sachs said
I found mine in “Options -> Delphi Compiler -> Unit output directory”.
HeartWare said
Okay – that might be so. My .DCU and .EXE file go to the same directory, so which one it is that controls it was a 50/50 chance to get it right for me :-).
Andrew Sachs said
Wow! This is new to me. And I started with Turbo Pascal 3.01…
Are these “secret” options documented anywhere?
rvelthuis said
FWIW, an excellent way to quickly see from which units no symbols are imported at all. They might be obsolete, if they don’t have any relevent initialization or finalization sections.
rvelthuis said
Cool finding! I tried it and indeed, it seems to work.
