IDE Fix Pack 6.2

Delphi 10.2 Tokyo changed how the files for units that are explicitly specified in the project file (dpr/dpk) are found. The IDE Fix Pack’s directory file search cache still made assumptions that were correct in Delphi 2009-10.1 Seattle but aren’t in Tokyo. This could result in an “program or unit xxx recursively uses itself” error messages if you had a relative path in the filename that is specified in the project file.

This release also adds another option to the compiler codegen optimizations. The new -x-orc / -x-orc=n option allows you to eliminate temporary record copies for functions like “begin Result := FRedirect.GetRecord; end;”. This optimization allows the compiler to skip the try/finally block with InitializeRecord/CopyRecord/FinalizeRecord calls for the temporary record variable that is then copied to the actual result record.

• Fixed: Directory search cache failed if project units had “..\” in it (Delphi 10.2 only)
• Fixed: Some VirtualProtect calls specified nil as last argument what Windows 10 1709 doesn’t like if a debugger is attached.
• Added: Option -x-orc and -x-orc=n to remove temporary record variables for function results (n=1: only if the assignment is the last statement, n=2 for all)
