At the day of the Delphi XE3 release Piere le Riche released the download version of FastMM4 (now version 4.991) that is compatible with Delphi XE3.
change log:
Version 4.991 (3 September 2012)
- Added the LogMemoryManagerStateToFile call. This call logs a summary of
the memory manager state to file: The total allocated memory, overhead,
efficiency, and a breakdown of allocated memory by class and string type.
This call may be useful to catch objects that do not necessarily leak, but
do linger longer than they should.- OS X support added by Sebastian Zierer
- Compatible with Delphi XE3
Note:
The download is ready, but the FastMM source repository on SourceForge is not yet updated.

Dang; I thought this had long left the posting queue, but somehow it ended in the drafts (:
Since then, many more event videos made it to Channel 9, including Build 2011, and TechDays 2012.
Anyway, here it is:
Microsoft’s PDC 2010 was held at the end of October 2010 in Redmond, WA, USA.
For the people that could not attend, it is very nice to view the sessions using the PDC10 player (it seems still people didn’t learn and start stripping the century parts from years again!).
Even if you are not using Visual Studio, .NET Azure or other Microsoft Technologies, there are a lot of interesting sessions showing the directions that Microsoft is taking.
Comparing that to what you do today is always a good thing to do: it helps you reflect, an important part of your personal development.
A few things I found interesting (in no particular order):
Enjoy!

One of the Enterprise SKU of Windows 8 is that it allows side-loading of WinRT apps. It gives you the opportunity to load internally developed Metro-style applications that use WinRT on Windows 8 without a developers license installed on that Windows 8 machine.
This feature was described on many sources, including:
But since many apps (including Delphi written apps as they cannot link to the Visual C++ Run-Time DLL) don’t directly run on WinRT, there is a clear demand of enabling this side-loading feature for non-Enterprise SKUs of Windows 8:
The last link describes a way to circumvent this, and I think that is what Embarcadero is aiming at to enable Delphi XE3 Metropolis style applications to run on WinRT:
Note I updated my Delphi WinRT link clearance post with the last two links.

Just for my own record, a link clearance of WinRT in relation to Delphi.
I amended this a couple of time already, will try to do so over time: Read the rest of this entry »

Now for some lighter Delphi XE3 related stuff:
These icons seem to go very well with the Metropolis UI Applications that you can create (and convert from VCL!) with Delphi XE3 (see the XE3 video at 0:30).

Every so often, I come across a pearl that I hand’t read before. This time I was looking for the source of “nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution”, and somehow came across the book 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know.
It is full of interesting concepts phrased in easy to read chapters on important things like “Code in the Languae of the Domain“, “Don’t Repeat Yourself” and many (95 <g>) others.
For a small introduction, read the PDF presentation extract, and the 97 things website.

A few weeks ago, Bill Karwin did a must watch webinar on the prevention SQL Injection titled “SQL Injection Myths and Fallacies“.
Bill Karwin (twitter, new blog, old blog, Amazon) is famous for much work in the SQL database community, including InterBase/Firebird, mySQL, Oracle and many more.
He also:
Anyway, his webinar is awesome. Be sure to get the slides, watch the replay, and read the questions follow up.
Watching it you’ll get a better understanding of defending against SQL injection.
A few very valuable points he made: Read the rest of this entry »
