IDE\Project Management\Project Manager

Description:

[QC Short Description]
Please allow files to be added to a project without specifying their exact path

[QC Description]
In BC++ 5.0x, it was possible to add source, object, and library files to a project without specifying their exact path. The path was then determined at compile and/or link time using the include and library paths in project settings.

This is a critical requirement for sharing projects between team members without identical environment setups. For example, if I want to add the iphlpapi.lib library to my project, I can do so only by pointing to "c:\program files\borland\bds\4.0\lib\psdk" and adding the library from that location. If I then share this project with another team member whose IDE is installed someplace other than "c:\program files\..." s/he will get a linker error when building the project.

By allowing files to be added without path information, the include and library paths in project options can include something like, "$(BDS)\include" or "$(BDS)\lib\psdk" and the project will still compile and link, so long as $(BDS) is defined appropriately for each user's environment.

As was the case with BC++ 5.0x, the path information should be optional. That is, if path information is provided, it should be honored. But if omitted, the include and library paths in project options should take effect at compile and link time.

Addendum (12-08-06):

It would only be necessary to "search" for files if an explicit path is not provided. However, if no explicit search path is provided (or if the path is removed via local options) and the file does not exist in the current directory, that is when the search path would come into play.

For source files (as with include and library files), the current directory should be the default. Only if the file is not found would it be necssary to search the path list.

Adding existing units to project by dragging from Win Explorer fails

[QC Description]
This report is related to QC 43743/RAID 248861 but is not the same.

I consider this to be more serious than QC 43743 because projects often don't import correctly into Cogswell, so creating a new project and dragging the existing units into it will be done a more common practice than it would if importation were more reliable.

When dragging an existing .cpp file from Windows Exploder to the project manager, the form is not included in the project and does not appear in the Project/Options/Forms list.

See steps and attached project.

<Later>

Things are even worse than I initially reported. I've just noticed that forms were omitted for 3 of the 34 existing units I added to my project, even though I added them via the Project Manager's Add context menu. Worse, removing them from the project and re-adding them does not bring the forms into the project. Note that this is a project I created fresh in 2709.

I've tried removing the mal-imported units from the project, then saving/closing/reopening the project and adding the unit - didn't work. I also tried removing the units, saving the project, closing the project, closing Cogswell, restarting Cogswell, reopening the project and re-adding the unit. The forms are still omitted from the project.

Double-click the TActionManager and add 3 standard actions: File/Open, File/SaveAs and File/Exit. Drop the File category on both bars.

Set the colormap of each bar to TTwilightColorMap.

Save the project so you can repeat this test without setting everything up again.

Select the TTwilightColorMap and delete it. The IDE throws this exception repeatedly until you kill it with task manager.

Followup: After sending the AIR, this time the IDE did not repeatedly throw the exception - it only occurred once, although the IDE remained unresponsive. I left this way for several minutes after which I killed it with the task manager.

I have repeated this 4 times, with a reboot between the 3rd and 4th attempt, which may be why the failure mode was a bit different on the 4th attempt.

In all cases, the dropdown with the name and type of the component located above the object inspector flashed continuously.

Autogenerated code for IdUDPServer OnUDPEvent Generates E2015 Error

[QC Description]
There seems to be a problem in that the autogenerated event handler code is inserted using TBytes instead of TIdBytes (actually supposed to be the same types, but not recognized as such for some reason...) The TBytes clashes with another var typedef, and changing the TBytes by hand to TIdBytes causes the handler data types to match the TBytes expected by C++ Builder.

Hand editting the TBytes to a TIdBytes and trying to recompile gives a dialog box error message:
"The IdUDPServer1UDPRead method referenced by IdUDPServer->OnUDPRead has an incompatible parameter list. Remove the reference?"

- Answering yes removes the event handler, and the incoming data does not get detected

- choosing no allows the compilation, but then every time the file is either saved or recompiled, this dialog must be dealt with. I am also unsure if the compiled program is actually functional in this state.

Is there a patch for this? (either to Builder or Indy?)

Can Indy source be recompiled? If so, what is the procedure for this?

I expect many of the Indy components that utilize TIdBytes may have this compile issue. This is just the first one I tried to use.

[QC Description]
You should be able to run implib -a mylibBcb.lib mylib.dll
to generate a BCB OMF formated import library to link against an MSVC .dll that uses its default _cdecl calling convention for exported C functions,

However, for my DLL all functions except for one are properly exported.

This was a documented problem on 7/2/98, see artical ID 16809 : http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,16809,00.html

There is a workaround quoted in the artical. Also see this helpful artical: http://www.bcbdev.com/articles/vcdll.htm

from artical 16809 : http://www.bcbdev.com/articles/vcdll.htm

To get around it:

(1) run impdef on the .DLL.
(2) edit the .DEF file and change lines which look like:
Foo @1
to look like
_Foo=Foo
(3) run implib on this .DEF file.
(4) link to that import library.

Seeing as how BCB 6.0 still uses build 3.0.22 of IMPLIB I'm guessing an upgrade won't help me.

[QC Short Description]
enums passed to ellipsis parameters are not promoted to int.

[QC Description]
In BDS2006, when you pass an enum as parameter to an function with an
ellipsis param, it does not get extended to int.

This bug is not present in the BCB5 compiler.

for example, the following code:-

int a=0;
unsigned char b=0;
enum {AAA,BBB,CCC} c=AAA;
AnsiString s;
s.printf("%d %d %d",a,b,c);

ShowMessage(s);

... shows "0 0 0" on BCB5, but "0 0 <random>" on BDS2006 (where 'random' is some 32-bit value with lower order byte= 0

Looking at the CPU view, all params are passed as 32-bit values on the
stack, but 'c' does not get sign-extended, while 'b' does. I have "treat
enums as ints" off in both cases.

Thomas Maeder [Teamb] has commented:

"Integral promotion has to happen; the resulting type isn't necessarily
int, though, but the first of the set {int, unsigned int, long,
unsigned long } that can represent all the values of the enumeration
type; if no one can, the result type is unsigned int."

> enum {AAA,BBB,CCC} c=AAA;

"The values of this type are between AAA and AAA|BBB|CCC, i.e. between
0 and 3. The result type of the integral promotion should therefore be
int. Sounds like a compiler bug."

Compiler fatal error with Source debugging (-v) option, template and __declspec(package)

[QC Description]
The compiler fatal error occurs when all following conditions are met :
- -v option is active,
- declare a template function or class with __declspec(package) specifier
- write a specialization
- instantiate the specialization.

As I explained in a comment I added to this report, it works fine if any of the conditions above is not met.

By the way, if you do not provide the 'defaut' implementation nor any speciailization, the compiler shouldn't be able to intantiate. It doesn't complain however. This is another bug I reported in report 36329.


It is quite difficult to check against the presence of the -v option in the code because of another bug (see NOTE in code I added in the Comments page) and possibly other conditions not discovered yet.

I haven't found yet the benefit of the -v option but it is probably something you would check one day just because you hope it can help you....

Workaround is to keep all templatized code internal to the library and use another simple class, that will be exportable, to encapsulate the working class.

Because of the confusing Project Option window (the Build Configuration choice is confusing) , you need to be very careful when changing an option from there and want to apply it to your next compilation.
It is hence useful to display in the message window the actual command line created by the IDE to compile a unit (can't find any more however where this option is).

Delphi code cannot be used in C++ , maybe object data fields misalignment

[QC Description]
I'm not sure if the problem is in dcc32 (generating wrong *.hpp files from *.pas units) or maybe in cpp rtl or bcc32 compiler.

The problem is in a Delphi component that has several private TRect fields,
when dcc32 generates the *.hpp header files, that fields need to be wrapped around #pragma pack(push,1) otherwise c++ compiler mismatches the offset addresses of the TRect structures.

This very same package runs fine when used from Delphi personality, and this very same test code works fine in BDS 2006.

The TeeChart Standard v7 that comes with RAD2007 also works fine, so I guess there's something strange in my test project / test package, or the test Delphi sources are incompatible with C++.

[QC Description]

How slow? About 15 minutes in a VM (which obviously slows things down a bit, but not by a lot on my machine).
