An IDE feature to comment all lines with sysntax error (or code lines lacking definition of variable name/object/classes etc) within a pas file or even entire project can help faster compilation of projects for analysis purpose and a gauge of estimation of effort in terms of LOC (lines of code) requiring change

The feature can be a great help in estimation of required effort for migration projects from earlier IDE versions to later

  1. Sometimes 1000 lines of broken code can be fixed by changing one line of code elsewhere. Sometimes you need to change each of the 1000 broken lines. This won't be useful, and Emba, if they have sense, will deny such a feature request. So don't even bother asking and wasting their time.

  2. David Heffernan mine is a case of mostly grid columns as Dev Ex Grid replaces older one and some other component replacements which are documented and being tracked by a change document

  3. So you know what old component is incompatible with your new IDE? Why not do a simple grep search to see how many of those you have? Also, take into account the entire Unicode migration, that'll give you far more headaches than a few gridcolumns that are changed.
