Enabling stack traces in Delphi: [WayBack] Getting started · MahdiSafsafi/DebugEngine Wiki · GitHub:

Using DebugEngine stack trace when error occurs:

All what you need to do is to include DebugEngine.HookException unit into your project. And each time an error occurs, you will be able to get the stack trace from the point where the error occurred.

uses 
  DebugEngine.HookException;

{...}

procedure Foo;
begin
  try
    DoSomething;
  except
    on E: Exception do
      ShowMessage(E.StackTrace);
  end;
end;

You can get similar functionality with JCL.

Via [WayBack] Why Delphi (like other developer environments) natively not included full call stack for every exception? Or if this is possible, please tell me how (wi… – Jacek Laskowski – Google+

Still an interesting thought: I’d like the next update from Emb to NOT contain any new features at all – just a huge bundle of bug fixes

Especially the comments in it are well worth re-reading.

By now a new Delphi version should have been out, so I am curious how the balance between bug fixes and new features was.

Edit: Fixed bugs are features, so in my opinion Embarcadero should release only bug-fix updates and upgrades for at least two years.

Problem with new features is that they usually come with new bugs. Therefore new features take away developer capacity from fixing old bugs twice.

Dependency Injection in Delphi: use Spring4D and Nick Hodges’ book

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/06

Over the past few months, various people asked me where to get started with Dependency Injection in Delphi.

First of all, get this book:

[WayBack] Dependency Injection In… by Nick Hodges [Leanpub PDF/iPad/Kindle]

This book covers Dependency Injection from A to Z.  In it you’ll learn about Constructor Injection, Property Injection, and Method Injection.  You’ll learn about the right and wrong way to use the Dependency Injection Container.

It’s well worth reading.

Then buy this book and continue reading; it’s more extensive but coming from a Delphi background it’s better to read Nicks’ book first:

[WayBack] Dependency Injection in .NET: Mark Seemann: 9781935182504

Dependency Injection in .NET, winner of the 2013 Jolt Awards for Productivity, presents core DI patterns in plain C#, so you’ll fully understand how DI works, covers integration with standard Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET MVC, and teaches you to use DI frameworks like Structure Map, Castle Windsor, and Unity.

Then start at these demo projects:

Finally read through these posts and what they link to:

Then compare what you learned with this:
