Delphi Corner Weblog: New: Velthuis.AutoConsole unit – helps against the “optimised” Embarcadero FastMM fork.
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/17
Brilliant:
if it is a console program and it was started any other way (from the Windows Explorer, from the Delphi IDE with or without debugger, from another non-console program), then, before the console window can close, it will display:
Press any key...

Delphi multithreading – AcquireExceptionObject/ReleaseExceptionObject to pass exception from one thread to another thread – via G+ and Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/07
A long time ago, Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+ reminded [WayBack] me of this which I required a short while ago:
You can use
AcquireExceptionObject():AcquireExceptionObject returns a pointer to the current exception object and prevents the exception object from being deallocated when the current exception handler exits.
Then you can send the pointer to another thread and if you raise it there it will be freed for you, otherwise you must call
ReleaseExceptionObject()to free it.
After the answer by Remy Lebeau [WayBack] and Remko [WayBack] is a comment [WayBack] by mghie [WayBack] that mentions AsyncCalls.pas that now is available on GitHub [WayBack].
If you have a very old (version <= 5) Delphi or just want to look at how AcquireExceptionObject [WayBack] looks like just look at a similar implementation there [WayBack]. Note that instead of the ReleaseExceptionObject [WayBack] call, AsyncCalls re-raises the exception [WayBack].

Delphi compiler: the –depends switch / DCC_OutputDependencies property outputs a .d file listing all .dcu and .dcp files – via Stack Overflow/G+
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/01
Every now and then you want to know what units your project is made of. Not just the units require to build your project, but actually the ones ending up in the executable (i.e. not removed by the compiler or linker).
I had long forgotten that Chris Hesik [WayBack] wrote in debugging – How can I find all the units in my Delphi app? – Stack Overflow [WayBack]:
you can have the Delphi compiler show you a list of used .dcus by passing –depends when you compile a project. It will output a .d file with a list of the .dcus (and .dcps) that were required.
This reminded me of that: The –depends option is supposed to work with the Delphi compiler, and it outputs a .d file. Does it still work in Berlin, and where is the file supposed to be output to? – David Nottage – Google+ [WayBack]
In the mean time, I wrote a batch file that parses the .MAP file to see which units actually made it into your .EXE [WayBack] which works only for Widows executables (as I hardly do cross-platform Delphi development).
Uwe Schuster [WayBack] reported the IDE won’t pass on the –depends switch in Delphi XE and up (version 15.0.3953.35171) [WayBack] which means you need to pass this from the command-line.
Ondrej Kelle (G+/SO) pointed out that:
- the list of units can be obtained from the PACKAGEINFO resource at run-time as well [WayBack] by using the GetPackageInfo RTL routine [WayBack].
- you can have msbuild pass this parameter by using the below
DCC_OutputDependenciestrick
msbuild hello.dproj /property:DCC_OutputDependencies=true
- It does work from the IDE if you check “use MSBuild externally”
The msbuild property setting is available in at least Delphi/C++Builder versions 2007 and 2010..Berlin as it is in CodeGear.Cpp.Targets and CodeGear.Delphi.Targets/RTL.Build.targets for BDS versions 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. It might be available in versions 2005/2006/2009 as well but I don’t have these lying around any more.

Delphi “F2039 Could not create output file” on drc files
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/01/19
I had this error when building my Delphi app and needing detailed MAP files.
Somehow, then Delphi also tries to generate .drc files and fails.
Performing the “F2039 Could not create output file” drc – Google Search didn’t reveal much.
So I fired up Process Monitor and looked for file access patterns (see dump below), that all were OK.
Then I opened Windows Explorer and saw freshly generated .DRC files marked as some type of VLC Player file. I’ve had loads of trouble with VLC in the past, but I inherited this PC so I didn’t notice VLC Player was installed by the previous developer.
Lesson learned: when starting a gig, always request a fresh PC
So I uninstalled VLC Player and now everything works fine.
Oh btw: .DRC files are Delphi Resource String files.
