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:

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).

  1. Go to the group page https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spring4d
  2. On the right side, click on “About” which brings you to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/spring4d
  3. Copy any of the RSS or ATOM links and add it to Feedly.

Seems Delphi XE6 is welcomed: “Welkom RAD Studio/Delphi/C++Builder XE6!” (via: Barnsten B.V. – Google+)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/15

Interesting: didn’t see this on the Embarcadero site yet, so the announcment of Welkom RAD Studio/Delphi/C++Builder XE6! by Barnsten B.V. – Google+ is a bit surprising.

Edit:

Given the XE6 webinar on the 16th (that is tomorrow!), it wasn’t that surprising, but in my memory those webinars usually were before the product became actually available.

Barnsten was a tad bit faster than me picking up these two posts that had the official announcemts:

So here are some of the Embarcadero.com links for XE6:    Read the rest of this entry »

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+:

Stefan Glienke's profile photo

+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%

Appmethod registry keys for trying to build Spring4D

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/04

I’m researching the Spring4D build engine to compile and install the packages and sources for the first Appmethod release.

These are the registry settings that I’ve found:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\13.0

I wonder if the 13 has anything to do with http://docwiki.appmethod.com/appmethod/1.13.

Anyhow: it looks like the next Delphi (XE6) might not use the number 13. Again. Although Allen Bauer was in episode 13 (:

Delphi – finding the VERxxx define for a particular Delphi version: use JEDI.INC

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/10/15

Edit 20140822 since originally posting, JEDI moved to a GIT repository, so I changed some URLs and added that it is up to date until Delphi XE7.

Finding the correct VERxxx conditional define for a particular Delphi version is asked by a lot of people.

Even the first link in the above search, does not contain the full list!
But: JCL comes to the rescue

The JCL file JEDI.INC usually (read: like 99.999% of the time) is up to that with that information soon.
Currently, it contains all the defines starting with Delphi 1, up to Delphi 2010 XE7.

You can always browse the to JEDI.INC with this link to the sourceforge trunk. link to the GitHub master version.

In fact that file contains a lot more useful defines.
Actually, having the JCL and/or JVCL at hand is a very good practice: it is filled with high quality code that solves a lot of everyday problems.

Note:

VER190 (by some people attributed to the wrong Delphi version) is only used by Delphi 2007 for .NET (Delphi 2007 for Win32 used VER185 by itself and shares VER180 with Delphi 2006 for Win32).

The number 13 (in between Delphi 2009 aka Delphi 12, and Delphi 2010 aka Delphi 14) was never used as a Delphi version number
Since Delphi is mainly developed in the USA, and since a lot people there have Triskaidekaphobia, they showed mercy to those and skipped Delphi 13.
