  • The Delphi Language for Mobile Development
    This document is an introduction to changes in the “Mobile” version of Delphi and the new Delphi ARM compiler. The focus of this document is to highlight the language changes and techniques that can be used to port existing code and to maintain backwards compatibility. Author: Marco Cantu, Delphi Product Manager, Embarcadero Technologies (suggest updates and integrations to [email protected]). Written with very significant technical contributions by Allen Bauer and the help of many reviewers. Document Revision: 1.0 Moving Delphi to mobile ARM platforms is part of a larger evolution for the Delphi language. As such, the R&D team here at Embarcadero adopted a new architecture that will be common among all Embarcadero languages. Rather than building the compiler and all of the related tools (often indicated with the term “toolchain”) in a completely proprietary and autonomous way, we decided to leverage an existing compiler and tool chain infrastructure that has broad industry support, making it faster for us to add new platforms and operating systems in the future as market demands change. Specifically, the new generation of Delphi compilers (and also the C++Builder compilers) utilize the LLVM architecture. What is this LLVM and why does this matter? Let’s take a quick look at LLVM, and return to our main topic later. The LLVM project has its main web site with a detailed description at http://llvm.org In short, LLVM is “a collection of modular and reusable compiler and tool-chain technologies”. Despite the name (which was originally an acronym, but it is now considered as “the full name of the project”), LLVM has little to do with virtual machines.

  • C++ Builder 2010 Professional Getting Started
    C++ Builder 2010 Professional Getting started. Kjell Gunnar Bleivik: http://www.kjellbleivik.com/ October 18. 2010. Fixed broken link. Status: Most probably finished. Look at the date in case more should be added. Follow me on Twitter and join my C++ Builder group on Facebook: Twitter: http://twitter.com/kbleivik FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Kjell-Gunnar-Bleivik/1244860831 Mini network: http://www.digitalpunkt.no/ 1. Installing C++Builder 2010, the help system etc. I ordered my upgrade of Borland C++ Builder Prosessional 2010 on September 21 2009 so I could choose an additional free product. I choose Delphi PHP 2.0, since I am fairly used to PHP. In order to install C++ Builder 2010, I had to upgrade my 2009 version. I have made an 2009 and 2010 upgrade shortcut on my desktop. You should find your upgrade program: | your start menu or in | the all program category | CodeGear RAD studio 2009 | Check for updates | Program | When finished upgrading the 2009 Builder, I could run the C++ Builder 2010 Setup program. In addition, I installed the additional first three programs that I also find in the Install Folder. Look at the screendumps below, so you get it correct. • Help_Setup Program • dbpack_setup Program • boost_setup Program • Additional_Products HTML document. • ERStudio_Interbase HTML document 2. Getting started with C++ Builder 2010 Professional. If you learn to use the welcome page efficiently, that may be all you need. On the “documentation” menu, you should start with, yes “Getting started” and then “RAD Studio Help” and so on. As an example click: | Documentation | … and try to locate this http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/ page with Wiki pages, PDF documents, zipped code examples for download, PDF documents since C++Builder 6 (scroll down to the bottom) and CHM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help files.

  • Managing Java EE Performance with Embarcadero's J Optimizer Request
    Tech Notes Managing Java EE Performance with Embarcadero’s J Optimizer Request Analyzer Al F. Mannarino, Embarcadero Technologies June 2008 Corporate Headquarters EMEA Headquarters Asia-Pacific Headquarters 100 California Street, 12th Floor York House L7. 313 La Trobe Street San Francisco, California 94111 18 York Road Melbourne VIC 3000 Maidenhead, Berkshire Australia SL6 1SF, United Kingdom Managing Java EE Performance Using Embarcadero J Optimizer Request Analyzer The iterative use of performance tools throughout the development process is critical for keeping performance and reliability problems under control as well as for producing fast, scalable Java EE and Java SE applications. Java™ technology is great for accelerating time-to market, but performance and reliability risks can become a serious challenge. Because Java technology provides a higher level of abstraction, it affords developers only a limited understanding of—and control over—the way their code is executed. Embarcadero J Optimizer offers a four-pronged attack at improving Java application performance. Three of those four prongs address developer performance considerations and are focused on individual developer productivity, identifying performance risks and reliability issues, and helping developers correct problems such as memory leaks, performance bottlenecks, and multi- threading issues. Within J Optimizer there are three profiling tools which help address these areas. • Profiler—examine memory and CPU use; identify memory leaks, inefficient temporary storage issues, CPU bottlenecks, and unit test performance regressions. • Thread Debugger—identify and analyze thread contention issues, thread-starvation, excessive locking, deadlocks, and other thread related issues. • Code Coverage—identify and analyze the classes, methods and lines of code that are being executed; remove dead code, improve quality, and improve the application's footprint.

  • The Self-Explanatory Pascal Language Has Inspired Me for 30 Years. It Is A
    SUCCESS STORY HEIDISQL Ansgar Becker has been developing a lean database client using Delphi since 1999. In the beginning it was only meant for MySQL, but over the years HeidiSQL has established itself worldwide as a very popular and frequently used OpenSource tool, as have SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. APPLICATION HeidiSQL would never have progressed HeidiSQL so fast without the new features of Delphi. DEVELOPER The diverse components of the VCL offer lean Ansgar Becker solutions for many practical purposes. – Ansgar Becker GENRE Management Client for Database ‘‘ Systems CHALLENGE • MySql, MariaDB In 1998, the author and web developer was not satisfied with the programs available • SQL Server to him at that time to manage a MySQL server. The desire arose to visualize the • PostgreSQL database structures as intuitively as possible. Due to school knowledge in Turbo • SQLite Pascal, the Delphi 3 license of the employer, and the still very young Internet, a whole world of possibilities was available to him. At the same time, Matthias’’ USED TOOLS Fichtner published his Delphi translation of the mysql.h header file. With this, the first connections to the MySQL server were established. Equipped with these Delphi, VCL prerequisites, a customized user interface had to be designed and implemented. Since then, the Delphi Form-Designer and the endless possibilities of the VCL have inspired Becker again and again to improve usability. The self-explanatory Pascal language has inspired me for 30 years. It is a high-level language with natural elements, which is very easy to learn and always a welcome change for me as a web developer.

  • Using New Delphi Coding Styles and Architectures a Review of the Language Features in Delphi 2009
    Tech Notes Using New Delphi Coding Styles and Architectures A Review of the Language Features in Delphi 2009 Marco Cantù December 2008 Corporate Headquarters EMEA Headquarters Asia-Pacific Headquarters 100 California Street, 12th Floor York House L7. 313 La Trobe Street San Francisco, California 94111 18 York Road Melbourne VIC 3000 Maidenhead, Berkshire Australia SL6 1SF, United Kingdom Using New Delphi Coding Architectures and Styles INTRODUCTION: THE DELPHI LANGUAGE The Delphi language, better known as Object Pascal, is a modern strong type-checked and object-oriented language, featuring single inheritance and an object reference model. In recent years, the language has been augmented with record with methods, operators overloading for records, class data, nested types, sealed classes, final methods and many other relevant features. The most surprising extension was probably the introduction of class helpers, a technique used to add new methods to an existing class or replace some of the existing methods. But in Delphi 2009 the new features added to the compiler are even more relevant. Besides the extensions to the string type to support Unicode, the last version of Delphi introduces generic data types, anonymous methods, and a number of other “minor” but very interesting features. INTRODUCING GENERICS As a first example of a generic class, I've implemented a key-value pair data structure. The first code snippet below shows the data structure as it is traditionally written, with an object used to hold the value: type TKeyValue = class
