The 68 things the CLR does before executing a single line of your code (*) · Performance is a Feature!
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/16
Because the CLR is a managed environment there are several components within the runtime that need to be initialised before any of your code can be executed. This post will take a look at the EE (Execution Engine) start-up routine and examine the initialisation process in detail.
Lots of interesting stuff happening before your code even gets executed. Many of the pieces can log.

C# 8.0 features – an exiting list of new possibilities on the horizon
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/04
Shamelessly adapted from [WayBack] C# 8.0 features Extension everything — a new syntax for extension methods that will also allow extension “other things,” like the much-anticipated exte… – Lars Fosdal – Google+, including the original posts where the topics were covered:
C# 8.0 features
Post 1
[WayBack] C# 8.0 Features: A Glimpse of the Future – NDepend: C# 8.0 is on the horizon and will be here before you know it, bringing with it some interesting functionality. Let’s take a peek into the future.
Extension everything — a new syntax for extension methods that will also allow extension “other things,” like the much-anticipated extension properties.
Default implementations on interfaces — this allows you to implement methods on interfaces, giving them a default implementation. That will enable you to add new methods to interfaces without breaking its clients.
Nullable reference types — probably one of the most anticipated features ever. It’s a reinterpretation (a “retcon” for you comic book geeks out there) of all the reference types as nullable and the introduction of a new syntax to denote nullable types, accompanied by several types of static checks, to prevent several classes of errors regarding these types. Say farewell to the null reference exception!
Post 2
[WayBack] C# 8.0 Features: Another Glimpse of the Future – NDepend This post covers two probable C# 8.0 features: null coalescing assignment and records. It explains what they are and reports on their current statuses, as well.
Null coalescing assignment — a very simple feature to shorten the check for null before assigning to a variable.
Records — this one is pretty interesting. It’s basically a very short way for you to declare classes that are only data holders. The compiler gives you Equals and GetHashCode implementations, a constructor, properties, and immutability for free, allowing you to do something more interesting with your life than writing loads of boilerplate code.
Post 3
[WayBack] C# 8.0 Features: A Final Glimpse Of The Future – NDepend: Here’s our final post in our C# 8.0 series, where we glimpse into the future. Today we’ll cover another two possible features: target-typed new expressions and covariant return types.
Target-typed “new” expressions — a way for you to omit the type from a constructor call, making the code simpler and less redundant.
Covariant return types — a much-anticipated feature that allows an overriding method to return a more derived type than the original type from the base class.
I really hope they publish the full specs soon, but given that the C# 7 specs yet have to (see [WayBack] C Sharp (programming language) – Wikipedia: Versions), I do not hold my breath, even though it had lots of interesting new stuff too:

libssh-delphi will migrate from Mercurial on BitBucket to git on GitHub soon (or finding about “fatal: repository … not found”, “MSVCR120.dll is missing” and “D3DCOMPILER_47.dll is missing” when prepping a fresh VM for a presentation)
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/08
When git on Windows suddenly gives you this when the repository URL opens fine in Chrome:
C:\Users\jeroenp\Versioned>git clone https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/libssh2-delphi Cloning into 'libssh2-delphi'... remote: Not Found fatal: repository 'https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/libssh2-delphi/' not found
but this worked fine:
C:\Users\jeroenp\Versioned>git clone https://github.com/jpluimers/GExperts.git Cloning into 'GExperts'... remote: Counting objects: 12031, done. remote: Total 12031 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 12031R Receiving objects: 100% (12031/12031), 9.77 MiB | 1.36 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (9284/9284), done.
I first thought “huh?”.
Then I remembered: this was a Mercurial repository, but I hardly use Mercurial any more…
C:\Users\jeroenp\Versioned>hg clone https://jeroenp@bitbucket.org/jeroenp/libssh 2-delphi destination directory: libssh2-delphi requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 30 changesets with 56 changes to 25 files updating to branch default 12 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Since I wanted to switch away from bitbucket for a long time anyway, it was time to say goodbye and find out how to make the conversion to git.
A quick search revealed there were many tedious manual ways involving command-lines: [WayBack] Convert Mercurial project to Git – Stack Overflow
But then I found out that github can fully automagically import a Mercurial Repository (of course without the BitBucket attached bells and whistles like issue tracker):
- [WayBack] About GitHub Importer – User Documentation
- [WayBack] Importing a repository with GitHub Importer – User Documentation
So it is now at github.com/jpluimers/libssh2-delphi with one user still to be mapped at github.com … libssh2-delphi/import/authors: Zeljko Marjanovic. If I ever get in contact with him (I tried over the last 2 years), then I will add him.
For now, I will be in touch with Vadum Lou (a.k.a. https://github.com/pult, full nameVadim V. Lopushansky) who already made another manually copied fork and get his additions integrated.
I might redo the conversion process later on as at least some of his submissions are at least partially in a Mercurial pull request.
Then I need to merge the develop branch into the master branch and prepare a release.
Oh: if it fails to debug in Delphi, then run the EXE alone. You will get an error like this:
---------------------------
SftpClientDemo.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I need to document this better in the README.md: the underlying libssh2 DLLs require the Visual Studio 2013 C++ run-time library to be installed. The latest version I could find as of writing is vcredist_x86.exe version 12.0.40649.5 from the Update for Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable Package at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138367 (download selection) or http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/C/2/CC2DF5F8-4454-44B4-802D-5EA68D086676/vcredist_x86.exe (direct download).
I need to update If a program you wrote can’t start becuase MSVCR*.dll is missing, then you forgot to ship the Visual C++ runtime… from 2012 on this as well as there are more versions available now than listed there.
Another error I got was the one below when running .NET stuff, but that might be because Windows Update was in progress:
- [WayBack] Update for the d3dcompiler_47.dll component on Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2
- [WayBack] D3DCompiler_47.dll is missing. How to fix it? – [Solved] – Windows 7
---------------------------
SourceTree.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because D3DCOMPILER_47.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Later: yes, that was indeed fixed during Windows update. Apparently, Microsoft has an update installation order issue or a dependency requirement issue where part of .NET depends on that DLL, even though it is not yet present.

Why do 90% of the Visual Studio Tools and Extensions make it so hard to update…
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/08
Worth repeating my [WayBack] Friday developers rant… Why do 90% of the Visual Studio Tools and Extensions make it so !@#$!@#$ hard to update.… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+:
Why do 90% of the Visual Studio Tools and Extensions make it so !@#$!@#$ hard to update as for *each* tool, you have to:
1. start Visual Studio (which doesn’t show progress, sometimes starts fast and sometimes takes a minute)
2. go to “Tools” menu, then to the “Extensions and Updates…” entry
3. in the dialog, browse to the bottom entry of the leftmost treeview (“Updates”) and click on it (as you cannot reach it by keyboard)
4. click the “Update” button for the topmost tool (it downloads with your default web browser which takes focus away from Visual Studio)
5. switch back to Visual Studio
6. close the “Extensions and Updates…” dialog
7. quit Visual studio
8. find the downloaded updater in your web browser (all !@#*!@# web browsers do this in a different way)
9. update (specify options, choose UAC elevation when needed, etc, etc)
10. wait for the update to complete (.NET Core 1.0.1, Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET and Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools take ages to complete and for most of the time stay at 95% of the progress bar for minutes. It’s called progress bar for a reason, track your progress evenly and hurry up!)
11. start over at step 1 for the next update10 )!@($#*%&@# manual steps PER UPDATE
Afterwards you need to clean all the downloaded installers as they often are partial web-installers which cannot be re-used
I want a “update all with default settings” button….
