[QC Short Description]
REPRODUCABLE Error Insight Eats All Memory

[QC Description]
I finally found something reproducable that shows Error Insight consuming memory to the point that the IDE slows to a crawl (or worse). See steps..
QC Entry 51136


[ref. 244356, looks like similar issue.]		 1) I bring up an out of the box (well, as downloaded) copy of the Delphi personality on a freshly booted machine. 2) Open a new VCL Forms Application. 3) Open the Windows Unit and the Classes Unit 4) Have Task Manager running so you can follow the Mem Usage of bds.exe. The CPU Time is interesting to watch as well. 5) When looking at the Windows Unit, you should see three Error Insight messages (QC51111). 6) Go down to the TYPE directive at line 109 and put a couple of // in front of it to comment it out. Wait patiently for about 7-10 seconds while the Error Insight list gets built in the Structure window. Get used to seeing how long this takes... 7) Switch to the Classes unit and comment out the TYPE directive on line 72 (it isn't the first TYPE) 8) You'll now see a few Error Insight messages from Classes. Leave classes with these errors. 9) Switch back to the Windows unit where the TYPE is commented out. 10) Position the cursor right after the two // you added. 11) Now comes the fun... While watching the list of Errors in the Structure box, backspace twice to delete the two // characters. As soon as big bunch of Error Insight error messages disappear (three will remain), type the two // characters again and wait for all of the Error Insight Messages to reappear (7-10 seconds). 12) Repeat step 11, alternating between having the errrors and not having the errors. Remember to delete the // as soon as the error messages finally appear and add the // back after the error messages quickly disappear. 13) Follow the Mem Usage while doing this -- things bog down when you get up to about 1.2 GIG of memory usage. (Don't forget to fix the source files when you are done) Choice of files isn't significant -- just something to generate lots of errors...

Delphi IDE\Code Editor\Error Insight
Description: Steps:
When the Editor options "error insigth" is enabled, Adding comments, new lines and deliting lines within a class definition is causing performance issue.

After dding few blank lines between class fields definition, the "private bytes" of the bds process increase of 1K.
Removing those makes this number to increase of 1 more K per line removed.

The "Private Bytes" number will not decrease unless even when those comments or blank lines are removed.
BDS needs to be re-started to see "privates bytes" number change.

[ref. 254984 for other steps.]		 1. Open a pas file with class definition

2. start process explorer and open the properties window for it - [Private bytes during at this point of this test is 139 484 K]

3. add blank lines between fields of a class definition. -[ "private bytes" = 140 828 K"]

4. remove the same lines [ "private bytes" = 144 284K"]

5. wait ....10 minutes. [ "private bytes" = 144 284K"]

will update this raid with the automated tests once it is ready

The same thing happens with many other symbols defined in the D3DX9 unit.

Code compiiles without error.

1. I create a simple sample project (VCL forms application - Delphi for Win32)
2. I then choose Project | Languages | Add. I then choose to add French Canada.
3. I save when prompted.
4. I recompile the project when prompted.
5. I now have my project.frc in the project manager, and it compiles / works properly.
6. I then choose Project | Options and select 'Include version information in project.'
7. I can now modify the version information, such as set Major = 3. Then, File, Save all.
8. When I build the project.frc and go to view the properties on the built frc, I do not get the version info.
9. I set the same version informations on project.frc using the right-click context menu -> options.
10. If I save the project group, close it, re-open it (reopen the Project group, then activate Project.frc) and choose Project | Options, the 'Include version information in project' does appear, however, the right-click context menu of project.frc does not display the correct version information...

48947 Delphi IDE\Class Completion
Description: Steps:
[QC Short Description]
Class completion duplicates code when invoked on certain classes

[QC Description]
When invoked on some classes, class completion will duplicate code; usually what is located in the topmost private section.

This problem is present in build 2738, but not in 2728.
QC Entry 48947
 1. Start Delphi build 2738. 2. Open the attached dupunit.pas. No need to create a project first. 3. Move the cursor somewhere in the class and invoke Class Completion (Ctrl+Shift+C). 4. The expected behavior is that nothing should change, but everything in the private section is duplicated and class completion produces code that doesn't compile.

50146 Delphi IDE\Packages
Description: Steps:
[QC Short Description]
Project options dialog corrupts the list of DCR files in package DPK file.

[QC Description]
The list of DCR files in the package DPK file gets "corrupted" to include duplicate entries, which in turn prevent the project from building. Manual editing of the DPK file can resolve the problem.

QC Entry 50146
 0: First, copy the attached UNIT1.PAS and UNIT1.DCR to a folder on your system. (or use any other PAS/DCR pair that you have) 1: Launch RAD Studio 2: File/New Package - Delphi Win32 3: Right-click on package1.bpl in project manager, and "View Source". You'll see this at the head of the file. package Package1; {$R *.res} {$ALIGN 8} ... 4: Project/Build Package 1 - this works just fine. 5: Project/Add to Project "Unit1.pas" (from step #0) Note that the package "view source" (the DPK file) now looks like this:- package Package1; {$R *.res} {$R 'dcrbug\Unit1.dcr'} {$ALIGN 8} ... 6: Again, Project/Build Package 1 - this works just fine. 7: Open Project/Options dialog, and click "OK" to close: DPK file now looks like this package Package1; {$R *.res} {$R 'dcrbug\Unit1.dcr'} {$R 'dcrbug\Unit1.dcr'} {$ALIGN 8} ... Note: an additional line will be added each time you repeat this step!! 8: Again, Project/Build Package 1 EXPECTED: Builds ok. ACTUAL: Build fails, with error:- [DCC Error] E2161 Warning: Duplicate resource: Type 2 (BITMAP), ID 1; File C:\Users\Roddy\Documents\RAD Studio\Projects\dcrbug\Unit1.dcr resource kept; file C:\Users\Roddy\Documents\RAD Studio\Projects\dcrbug\Unit1.dcr resource discarded. *NOTE* This should be a warning, but it's being treated like a fatal error. Your package has *not* built.

QC# Project Area
Delphi IDE\Packages
Description: Steps:
When a file is added to a package project and there is a .dcr with the same base name as the file, it leads to duplicate .dcr's in the project causing duplicate resource errors.
[this problem was introduced to Spacely post-RTM]		 0. Install Spacely and Cogswell
[an important step, the latest Spacely only does not show the problem]
1. Unzip attachment to a directory
2. File | New Delphi Package
3. Project | Add To Project and select the Unit1.pas you unzipped in step 1
4. Go to Project | Remove From Project notice the list contains:

Unit1.dcr
rtl
Unit1
Unit1

5. Remove one of the Unit1s
6. Go to Project | Remove From Project and notice that the list is the same
or there might now be two Unit1.dcr's

alternate steps to see the duplicate dcr's
1. Unzip attachment to a directory
2. File | New Delphi Package
3. Project | Add To Project and select the Unit1.pas you unzipped in step 1
4. Go to Project Manager and remove Unit1.pas from the project
5. Go to Project | View Source and notice two entries for Unit1.dcr,e.g.
package Package1;

{$R *.res}
{$R '..\test\Unit1.dcr'}

I was trying to compile and install a component set designed for BDS2006. There are two packages. One runtime and one design time. The runtime package compiled OK. The design time complained about a component already in the design time package and proposed to remove the unit. I asked to see the details in the remove dialog box, then clicked OK to accept removing. The access violation occured when I clicked OK.
QC Entry 42271 and also 42274

It looks like it is not related at all to the attached code. I reproduced with another project. I built a sample project. See attached file PackageCrash2622.zip.

Note: DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ATTACHED CODE !

QC 42271 - removed from Ref No so field testers cannot see the attached code


// Francois Piette
Still there in 2671
Still in 2798, see QC51434
Still in 2825.9366_VCL_Update.8, see QC53376

 Steps with the simple projects attached:

1. Launch the IDE
2. Close All
3. Unzip PackageCrash2622.zip in any folder
4. Open ProjectGroup1 from PackageCrash2622.zip
5. Build Package1
6. Install Package1
7. Build package2
=> The IDE pops a dialog box up to let you remove Component1
Click OK to remove Component1
=> ACCESS VIOLATION
8. Shutdown the IDE
=> Send report to Microsoft :-)

NOTE 7/17/07 - This no longer results in an AV. It causes an duplicate resource to be added to the project Source file. if you remove this duplicate, the file now builds fine.
Note by F. Piette 05/08/2007 - Build 2770.8305 still experience duplicate resource added in the package

Step to reproduce with project mentionned in QC42271:

1. Unzip/Untar the attached source code
2. Open GrizzlyBaseD10.bdsproj
3. Build GrizzlyBaseD10.bpl first
=> It complains about GrizzlyBaseR10.bpl not found (normal !)
4. Build GrizzlyBaseR10.bpl (Should be OK)
5. Build GrizzlyBaseD10.bpl again
=> Complain about HotKeyMgr
6. Check "Show details"
7. Click OK
=> ACCESS VIOLATION

Note: DO NOT DISTRIBUTE GRIZZLYPACK ATTACHED CODE !

Rename refactoring does not work for non-class function parameters

[QC Description]
Renaming of a Parameter that is not part of a class only renames the parameter in the implementation section but does not rename it in the declaration of the
procedure/function.
QC Entry 47408
 1. start Delphi for Win 32.
2. create a new VCL application.
3. in the interface section of the form's unit (and outside of the class), declare this function (just above the Implementation keyword):

procedure DoThat( Param1: Integer );

4. in the implementation of the unit, create the following function:

procedure DoThat( Param1: Integer );
begin
end;

5. right-click on the Param1 parameter from the declaration in the interface section.
6. invoke the Rename refactoring and change the name to Param2.
7. the name of the parameter is changed in the implementation section, but not in the interface.
8. invoking Rename on Param1 from the implementation for the procedure will also not rename the parameter in the declaration of the procedure.

ESD Help installer & 7zip files installed to bad location - prevents network install

[QC Description]
When the ESD installer stub is used to install Highlander, it downloads the instal 7zip files to a location of the user's choice, then unzips them into the Documents and settings\all users directory and continues installation from there.

With the breakout of the help installer into a separate procedure, this is no longer true of the help install - The installer and 7zip files for the help system are downloaded to c:\documents and settings instead.

Because of this, If I use the install image on the network to install to several workstations, each of the workstations must face a lengthy download of the help system files.

There may be a way to make the help install automatically if the files are copied to the network/external hd, but if there is it is not obvious, and really should not be necessary.

Only obvious "solution" is to copy the Help install files from documents and settings to each workstation prior to running install. Install should work without such hacks.

QC Entry 51030
 Download install.exe to a network or external drive. Run install. Attach a different workstation to the network or external drive Run install from second workstation Exp: Install for second workstation will use data downloaded to the network or external hd and will not need to download any files from the internet. Act: RAD Studio is installed without downloading additional files from the internet, but the Help install files are not available to the second workstation, so it spends an additional 3.5 hours downloading them (actual time from my workstation at work).

TOpenDialog under Vista Breaks doShareAware

[QC Description]
If you are running Vista, and use the TOpenDialog, and rely on the ofShareAware option, this is broken with Delphi 2007.

If you try to open a file that is in use, under Vista, with ofShareAware set to true, you get a dialog showing "Not implemented".

This can be tracked down to the code in Dialogs.pas:

1 - At the beginning of TOpenDialog.DoExecute, if Vista is being used, wrappers around the new FileDialogs are used
2 - These wrappers are created, and there properties assigned from the standard TOpenDialog (which skips OnShareViolation)
3 - The code in TFileDialogEvents.OnShareViolation checks to see if OnShareViolation is assigned and, if not, results in E_NOTIMPL

The sum of these parts is that, if you use a TOpenDialog, even with ofShareAware set, you will be completely unable to select in-use files.

Set TOpenDialog.Options.foShareAware to True In the button's click handler, call OpenDialog.Execute Run the program Click the Button Try to select a file that would normally raise a share violation Expected: Select the file, ignoring the share violation Actual: A warning dialog is displayed with the file name followed by "Not implemented"

CGI WebService on Windows Vista / IIS 7.0 Fails

[QC Description]
I tried to register a CGI WebService on Windows Vista / IIS 7.0 and the fowlling error appears :

HTTP 502.2 - Bad Gateway

If this WebService is converted into ISAPI WebService, it works fine.
QC Entry 42695		 One hack to workaround this is to turn off IO checks here:

TCGIApplication.Run;
begin
...
+ {$I-} Reset(Input); {$I+}
+ IOResult;
...
end

I've verified this hack at least lets the CGI startup and run without the mentioned 502 error, but this probably isn't the best fix. For more discussion/steps see:
http://qc.borland.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=42695

----
cwchua's workaround: Add VistaCGIApp.pas to a CGI application and it would work on Vista.
I've attached VistaCGIApp.pas to this RAID.

Note that one web action item needs to have it's default property enabled. Otherwise, if there are no PathInfo matches, the CGI would still return 502.2 on Vista.

Please include RTTI informations for non-monotonous enums

[QC Description]
if an enum type is defined with explicit ordinalities that are non contiguous, the runtime type information of any published property of that enum type is lost.

see the Steps for a code that demonstrate the problem.

Improving RTTI to support such kind of enum would help component builders to provide directly editable enum properties in components at designtime, or improve the storage / loading of persistent classes with generic storage classes such as Jedi JvAppStorage.pas

Description: Steps:
Application does not unload from Memory when terminating, when loading two or more DLLs, using ShareMem (cannot check against SimpleShareMem, see #255157) and run-time packages. 1. Start a new Win32 VCL Delphi application
2. Add 2 DLL Projects to the Project Group
3. Save all as "AH01.dpr", "AH02.dpr" and "AH03.dpr" respectivly, name the Form "FormMain.pas"
4. For each project go to project options -> Packages
Set the tick for using run-time packages
Add "vcl;rtl" for the run-time packages to use
5. Go to each projects DPR-Source file and add "ShareMem" as first unit to the uses clause
6. To the Main Form of AH01.DPR add two buttons.
7. In the OnClick Event-Handler of the first button write
LoadLibrary('AH02.DLL');
LoadLibrary('AH03.DLL');
8. In the OnClick Event-Handler of the second button write
Close;
9. Compile all projects and run the EXE
10. Click Button 1 - both DLLs are loaded
11. Click Button 2 - application (seems to) terminate

12. Run the Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and goto "Processes" page. Order processes by name and look for "AH01.EXE", this should not be there, but is.

Note: Example Project attached to report.

Note: Make sure you are NOT using the debug version of the memory manager, as doing so will mask this issue (do a "msbuild nodebugmem" from the tp\rtl directory if you're using the dev build)

THTTPWebNode Timouts do not work

[QC Description]
The timeouts on a THTTPWebNode do not work correctly. It is as if the timeouts are not altered.

Calling InternetSetOption with the hInternet parameter set to nil bypasses the problem.

The MSDN documentation for InternetSetOption on Windows CE indicates that for a synchronous connection the receive timeout can only be set for the default connection. i.e. the hInternet parameter must be NULL when INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT is set. This also appears to be the case on Win32 for the connect, send, and recieve timeouts.
QC Entry 49636
 1. Create a web service that takes longer than 30 seconds to respond. 2. Create client for the service using THTTPRIO object with the timeouts on the HTTPWebNode set to 60000. 3. Call the web service. It should timeout.

Description: Steps:
Should be possible to run Audits and Metrics on project level


From newsgroups:

Warren Postma

I have never (in delphi 2007 field test builds, nor in the RTM 2007, nor
2007 update 1, nor latest F/T H2 build) been able to get Metrics to work
for the whole project.

One form (.dfm/.pas) only, no problem.

But if I select the WHOLE PROJECT, audits fails in one of two ways:

1. No results ever. Frozen delphi (progress bar never moves, audit
results never returned).

2. Fast processing (no progress bar, but the whole thing cancels out,
fails silently), and we are returned to our audit-results window pane,
which is empty and contains no results.

How on earth does one do metrics on a whole project? Can you only do
metrics on a form by form basis?

NOTE: This means, go open a .dproj with 50 forms or so in it, not some
trivial piece of demo code, and actually TEST the audits/metrics
features on the whole projects. Does it work for you?

Warren

[Highlander Update]
 Unzip attached project
Start Delphi
Open project GExpertsD9.dpr
Switch on modeling
Switch to Model View
Launch popup menu on top node GExpertsD9
Launch QA Audits
Select All Audits
Start

//exp. Audits results are shown
//act. Error message appears and Delphi is closed. See attached image.

The same situation with running metrics, Delphi is closed.

On some particular packages fast processing is observed. Audits or metrics result pane is empty in this case.
It's possible to run Audits&metrics for single class and for some (small?) packages.
