How to properly cleanup/shutdown a Delphi ISAPI (which uses Threads) | Mathias Pannier programmiert

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/03

For my link archive:

If you use Threads or global Objects (which are created in the initialization section for example) You have to cleanup/shutdown them in the OnTerminate event of the ISAPI Application. If You destroy/shutdown them in the finalization section in a unit it could end up in a hanging application pool in IIS on shutdown/reuse and some windows event log entries.

//added
procedure DoTerminate;
begin
  //free global objects and wait/terminate threads here
end;
exports
  GetExtensionVersion,
  HttpExtensionProc,
  TerminateExtension;
begin
  ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown := true;
  CoInitFlags := COINIT_MULTITHREADED;
  Application.Initialize;
  Application.WebModuleClass := WebModuleClass;
  TISAPIApplication(Application).OnTerminate := DoTerminate; //added
  Application.Run;
end.

Delphi; on my research list `Error creating form: Root class not found: “”.`

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/03

On my Delphi research list:

[Window Title]
Error

[Content]
Error creating form: Root class not found: "".

[OK]

I think it has to do with form inheritance, but a quick glance didn’t raise any warning signs.

Ubiquity: The End of (Numeric) Error

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/10/03

Interesting read: [WayBackUbiquity: The End of (Numeric) Error

Crunching numbers was the prime task of early computers. The common element of these early computers is they all used integer arithmetic. John Gustafson, one of the foremost experts in scientific computing, has proposed a new number format that provides more accurate answers than standard floats, yet saves space and energy. The new format might well revolutionize the way we do numerical calculations.
