Reminder to self: [WayBack] It took me a while to address an awful IDE crash issue. If you install a design time package which uses RTTI to populate custom attributes declared in… – Baoquan Zuo – Google+
TL;DR: be very careful using the built-in RTTI support objects as when they refer to custom defined attributes in packages, and the packages get unloaded, the cache does not get flushed.

Some people already noticed me being far less active on social media including this blog.
This will continue for a while, as I am supporting two people that are very dear to me.

Boy I wish that QC was still up and QualityPortal was publicly indexable as that would have saved me quite a bit of time tracking this down. Luckily I got help from Stefan Glienke (who maintains the awesome Spring4D library based on modern Delphi compiler support) when I mentioned
How good are you with reference to function?
I’ve an odd compiler thing throwing errors when using interfaces but not with classes.
So, for posterity:
Unlike C#, in Delphi interface methods are not compatible with method references or methods of object.
This has many manifestations, which means you can get a variety of compiler errors. I’ve listed the ones I could find below, but presume there are more and if I find more will update this post.
These are the errors you can get:
These are the (now defunct, but used to be publicly accessible) QC and QualityPortal (needs sign on) entries (thanks Stefan Glienke and Blaise Thorn for reporting these):
The really frustrating part is that the RSP is marked as “new feature” whereas clearly it isn’t, so it probably never will be fixed.
A workaround for now is to wrap the interface method references with:
Examples are in the code below that also shows this works fine and dandy in C#.
