I'm looking for new desktop, like a Intel i7 9700k. but intel have removed hyperthreading. Is this a problem for Delphi ?

Any idea why this code stopped working in 10.3, is it a bug? type TTest = record constructor Create(const ACommand: Integer; const AItems: TStringDynArray); overload; end; constructor TTest.Create(const ACommand: Integer; const AItems: TStringDynArray); begin end; var Test: TTest; begin // this shows // E2250 There is no overloaded version of 'Create' that can be called with these arguments Test := TTest.Create(1, ['test']); end;

I have one application, which when I compile it for Win32, ends its compile with: F2084 Internal Error: C2527. This is in Delphi 10.3 Rio. When compiling for Win64 it works fine. On Tokyo and other previous Delphi versions it also compiles fine. I have no idea what might cause this. It's a somewhat large application (about 1.4 Mloc), uses several hundreds of units and a few third party libraries. I will try to narrow it down, but I expect that is going to be quite a bit of work.. Any suggestions? Can anybody tell what kind of error C2527 is?

Problem with reading a complete string on a serial port Dear all. I have a problem with a reading a string on a serial port. I can send string, send character, read character but I can't solve reading of complete string. I have two similar functions in a unit for reading from a serial port: function TPLC_Comm.ReadStr(var S: String) : Boolean; var TempArray : array[1..255] of Byte; Count, RX_Count : DWord; begin S := ''; ReadFile(Com, TempArray, 255, RX_Count, nil); for Count := 1 to RX_Count do S := S + Chr(TempArray[Count]); Form_Glavna.Edit_ToPrint.Text := S; if length(S) > 3 then Result := True; end; function TPLC_Comm.ReadChr(var C: Char) : Boolean; var RX_Count: DWord; begin ReadFile(Com, C, 4, RX_Count, nil); Result := (RX_Count=1); end; So in Execute for reading a character I do something like this: Repeat If ReadChr(Ch) then Begin IF (Ch=$#06) then ...( do something); If (Ch=$#15) then ...(do something2); End; Until (Ch in [$#06, $#15]; This work...

RIO - First thoughts: No additional downloads, no interbase (I check install everything). No love for the Win64 C++ compiler. First time I can recall the compiler did not get a version bump: Embarcadero C++ 7.30 for Win64 Copyright (c) 2012-2017 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc Building product demos, yet the Win64 compiles as a old one (it's driven by the compiler defines).

I have recently finished building a Multi-Tier database Application using the datasnap technology in Delphi. I have built the datasnap Client app in Delphi-Object Pascal, and linked it to a datasnap server app that communicates with HeidiSQL. When I run my Client app on the Windows desktop(64bit), it works just fine; it connects to the datasnap server, and can read and update the database. However, when i run it on an Android Device, while the server is running, it closes immediately. Do any of you know how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.

I have just downloaded 10.3 and after less than 1 minute I already have found an issue. Does this happen to you too? It seems that code insight does not recognize inline varaibles (but the code compiles)

Hello, I am going to uninstall 10.1 in my machine because I want to install 10.3 community edition.

I think that the simple uninstall won't clear the registry entirely...

I'm having serious problems with the license registration. Have submitted a support case this morning but did not get a reply yet, and now it is weekend. Perhaps someone here has ideas? The urgent issue that I have now is: I registered my Delphi license, the License manager says it activates Delphi 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 (and more), is valid until 31-Dec-2018 etcetera. That looks in order. However, when I press the Done button there, I get: "No valid license information found for Empbarcadero Delphi 10.3. (...)" and then, "You are not licensed to use Embarcadero Delphi 10.3". Hm. Not good. But there's more: The same happens when I start Delphi 10.2 Tokyo, the version that I have been using until I downloaded and installed 10.3 Rio (this morning). This is bad! What happened before: I have been having trouble getting Android development to work in my 10.2 IDE. I hoped that 10.3 Rio would solve this. I downloaded, installed and registered Rio this morning. First with...

Hello I have a question... Someone tried to build a iOS app with Delphi Rio 10.3 yet? What build of XCode and iTunes is needed? Anyone has a clue?

There's something that's not clear to me. Talking about community edition, when the 365 days will be gone, will it renew automatically? Or then you will have to pay to keep using community? I am going to download CE but if it will become unavailable after 1 year I can't find a reason to get it (at least for me)

I am going to download community edition but I have given a look at this page: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/product-editions I see that "Build database apps with client/server connectivity" has no ticks next to it. - Does this mean that I cannot use services such as the amazon AWS components? - Or/And this means that I cannot use REST Components?

Array of const to database and back I've made some research but didn't found anything related to this. What is the issue i'm facing: old application was using lots and lots of routines in order to use Format function and have arrays of const as parameters. Formated strings were stored in a database. Now I need to split those strings in 'unformatted' text and the arrays of const used to format the strings. The problem I have is that I couldn't store the array of consts in a string or stream field. How can be an array of const can be stored in a field and builded back again from database?

Hi All, Trying to convert a FMX TAlphaColor to a VCL TColor and having some issues. TAlphacolor is a four byte integer with hex $AARRGGBB format (i.e. AA transparency value 0 [i.e 00] transparent, 255 [i.e. FF] solid), RR the red byte, GG the green byte and BB the blue byte. The TColor is also a 4 byte integer $00BBGGRR. with a palette coding, then blue green red. I've Googled and consulted the Delphi help and found little. Is there a Delphi function I have missed or has anyone a code snippet to do this conversion. I've tried but am not smart enough to do the maths to get it working :( Have also read that byte shifting with shr, shl might be a possible solution. Cheers, Martin

I could use some input on https://gist.github.com/jpluimers/b08b65991987d01e1dd1bdb4bf8a33c4 Especially on: - the abstracting of the non-UI logic from https://github.com/pleriche/FastMM4/blob/master/Demos/Usage%20Tracker/FastMMUsageTracker.pas - the conversion to JSON: built-in Delphi JSON support does not do records out of the box, but I feel my workaround is cumbersome. There is an example on how to use it for logging memory and processor usage on the console.

Hello, In Windows， TWebBrowser is based on IE，default it is IE6. There are a large of web site not support IE6 now. We can modify it in Regedit, set it working as IE11. But IE11 has a bug: Document.GetElementByID(ID).outerText should return plain text no HTML, but is return plain text and some script. For a example, there are some string in a page: "this is a webbrowser in delphi.", it will return "this is a webbrowser some script in delphi." So, I would like to know that is there a TWebBrowser based on Firefox or Chrome in Delphi?

Google Takeout for the Delphi Developers community per 05 NOV 2018 The current takeout is rather meagre, and consists only of a list of 12606 posts , with the post URL and creation / update timestamps distributed over 13 json files.   In the original takeout file, there were some VCF files with the member VCARDs, but I removed them as they are not essential. Newest posts are in Posts-1.json, and oldest in Posts-13.json. So - you read it correctly: The post itself is not in the takeout, nor are the comments to each post. On the bright side: The takeout format could enable a slow scrape on a per post basis, but there are certain tricks that needs to be applied - such as expanding the comment list to be complete, and I am not sure how sensitive the G+ servers are to scrapers. Anyways, the .zip file with the .json data can be found here, if someone wants to have a go at doing a scrape. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1adR-m5dv3JTSLqBKCgcIsah2T_PadPBr/view?usp=sharing

Hello everyone, with Delphi 10.3 release I'd like your opinion, please. Finally we will have an optimized, modern compiler with vectorization support, SIMD, AVX2 and etc? I see in this list below a series of compilers with its advantages and disadvantages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers In this list we have mixed/cross-compilers C ++ and CUDA Will I find this with Delphi 10.3? Embarcadero could create a Wrapper and compilation parameters to facilitate the I work with AVX, because I have to do it all manually ever. What are the performance advantages of my clients will receive by me to develop using this new pascal syntax will it generate more optimized code or will it be more of the same? Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers
