Call for help: Spring4D and Delphi MultiCast events: working for Win32, Win64 and Mac OS X x64, but Android/iOS ARM help needed.
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22
Years after Allen Bauer and a few others wrote about Delphi MultiCast events, the Spring4D framework now supports MultiCast events on 3 platforms:
- Win32
- Win64
- Mac OS x86
Depending on the platform, the minimum required Delphi version is this (the develop branch builds in Delphi XE6):
- Win32: Delphi 2010 and up.
- Win64: Delphi XE2 and up.
- MacOSX: Delphi XE2 and up.
There are plans for support on Mobile platforms, and Spring4D needs help with that:
- The Intel implementation is written in Assembly, and fast.
- The Arm compiler does not allow Assembly language for various reasons.
So there is a need for an ARM solution not based on assembly in the Delphi code, preferably as cross-platform as possible. Read the rest of this entry »

Raize Components 6 updates for Delphi XE6
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22
Just found out that a new version of Raize Components 6 with Delphi XE6 support got released.
Raize Components 6 actually supports Delphi 2009 through XE6 (and C++ Builder and RAD Studio).
Older Delphi versions are also supported by older Raize Component versions, as Ray Konopka posted last year:
- Raize Components 4 supported Delphi 5 through Delphi 2007.
- Raize Components 5 supported Delphi 7 through Delphi XE.
- Raize Components 6 supports Delphi 2009 through Delphi XE5 (now XE6).
via Raize Software Support Forums • View topic – Installing multiple versions of the Raize Components.
(In the above quote, I included the links to the various trial versions).
There is also the famous Demo program download RCDemo.zip and nice videos:
- From CodeRage 7: Effectively Using Raize Components.
- From CodeRage 6: UI Design with Raize Components and RAD Studio XE2.
- From CodeRage 5: UI Design with Raize Components.
For the dot version nitpickers, here are the current versions as of writing: Read the rest of this entry »

GExperts 1.37 available for Delphi XE6..6.02, but not for Appmethod (via: Download | GExperts)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/19
GExperts 1.37 (commit 875, but no tag yet) now supports Delphi XE6 and XE5, and ahost of older Delphi versions. Binary downloads are available at Download | GExperts
These were the release news items:
In addition to what is in those items, 1.37contain a substantial speed improvement and some other fixes from me (I hope this fix also will get in later) in the Grep Search.
It is likely that this will be the last GExperts that support Pre-Delphi-2007 versions (currently 2006, 2005, 8.02, 7.1 and 6.02).
It is not clear if there will be a GExperts for Appmethod, as Appmethod does not provide functioning command-line compilers like I already blogged about in Spring4D now has projects for Appmethod, but it cannot support Appmethod in the automated build engine.
You can get an Experimental GExperts version for Delphi XE6..6.02 (that includes a source formatter) from Experimental GExperts Version » twm’s blog.
From Thomas Mueller (the author of the experimental GExperts versions), there are also a few other interesting blog posts you probably will like:
- Determine the Delphi installation directory from a batch file » twm’s blog.
- Experimental GExperts Version 1.37-2014-04-16 released » twm’s blog.
- Experimental GExperts Version 1.37-2014-04-12 released » twm’s blog which is interesting because it shows you how to install GExperts when there is no official installer for it yet. An alternative is to use the batch files that are in my GExperts downloads page. Note I am working on a continuous integration server that will build a couple of open source Delphi projects (the plan is to include GExperts, DUnit and a few others) that makes it easier to publish those builds.
- Another way to install GExperts is by calling rundll322, as seen in change 860 and posted on Thomas Mueller – Google+ – I have just added code to the GExperts dll so it can…. Way easier than my batch files.
- Windows advanced Batch programming call :bla%var% » twm’s blog which is based on switch statement equivalent in Windows batch file – Stack Overflow.

knowledge worker tip: adding a Google Group to #Feedly using one of its RSS feeds
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/15
Today I learned that each Google Group has RSS and ATOM feeds. That allows you to add them to Feedly (a great online RSS reader that won a lot of market share when Google Reader got ditched).
This is how you do it (I’m using the Spring4D group as an example).
- Go to the group page https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spring4d
- On the right side, click on “About” which brings you to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/spring4d
- Copy any of the RSS or ATOM links and add it to Feedly.

On turning “W1025 Unsupported language feature: ‘customattribute'” into a compiler error.
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/10
On turning W1025 into an error [WayBack] Why is “W1025 Unsupported language feature: ‘custom attribute’ “only a warning?… – mezen – Google+:
+Fabian S. Biehn This question has been answered by Nick already.
However you don’t need to turn it on in ALL projects. You change it in the base configuration, tick the Default checkbox in the bottom left corner of the settings dialog and from then on every new project will have this warning treated as error. However for existing projects you have to change it retrospectively.
You can even pass this option to the commandline compiler as explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/360947/587106
[WayBack] compiler construction – Delphi 2009 where is the ‘treat warnings as errors’ option? – Stack Overflow
On a related note, if you are using the command line compiler (DCC32.exe) the switch is-W^to have warnings treated as errors. If you are using this, it’s important to note that the default command shell in Windows (cmd.exe) treats the caret (^) as an escape character, so you have to use-W^^instead if you are executing the compiler directly from the command line, a batch file or even the from the Pre-Build or Post-Build events in the IDE.It’s also worth mentioning that you can have only certain warnings treated as errors. The switch to do this on the command line would look something like this:
-W^^WARNING-NAME. You would substitute the string that is associated with the warning you are wanting to have treated as an error.
The point about
-W^being problematic within BAT files is a good one. Using-W^^works if you are modifying the compile line directly. Otherwise, I found that using surrounding double quotes"-W^"works, for example when building an env var that contains all compiler parameters, that env var being subsequently passed to dcc32.exe. Tested with XE, XE2, XE3, XE4.SET CompilerParams=-B -M "-W^" -U"..\Source;%dcuoutdir%;%DUnitPath%" -I"..\Source\inc" "-N0%dcuoutdir%" -DDebugMode "%dcc%bin\dcc32.exe" %FuTFolder%ADDTests.dpr %CompilerParams% -U"%FuTSource%" %ExtraPath32%>%DCCLogFilename% if errorlevel 1 %Alerter% %DCCLogFilename%

OS X FullDebugMode support added by Sebastian Zierer (Thanks!) in FastMM / Code / Commit [r67]
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/10
I just discovered that almost 2 weeks ago, the FastMM code repository added support for these defines in Mac OS X in Commit [r67].:
- FullDebugMode
- LogErrorsToFile
- LogMemoryLeakDetailToFile
This is great news!
Note: this is not a full FastMM release, but since the original change by Sebastian Zierer has been done about half a year ago, the code is pretty stable.
Thanks mnasman for mentioning this on Delphi Redit, and Ralf Stocker for announcing this in the Non-Tech newsgroup.

Heartbleed: Serious OpenSSL zero day vulnerability revealed | ZDNet
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/08
The fixed OpenSSL 1.01g is already available in source and for many platforms.
When do they become available anyone using OpenSSL 1.01 or 1.02 must deploy the patched version as fast as possible.
You also need to have all your certificates re-issued.
During the vulnerability period, your private keys may have been exposed, and there is no way to tell that they were not exposed.
Note the official binaries for Win32 1.01g are not available for yet (expect them soon), but the Indy team made Win32 and Win64 versions available.
Note that OpenSuSE did a backport of the patch to 1.01e for 12.3 and 13.1. Older openSuSE versions do not have updates for this issue, but you want to upgrade anything lower than 0.98 as they contain serious other vulnerabilities.
