After 18 years of using a sub-domain on a very old server on a domain that wasn’t owned by me, my blog and therefore IDEFixPack got a new home. My blog is now accessible via https://www.idefixpack.de . The old sub-domain has a “Moved Permanently” redirection to the new domain. Some time in the future the… Read More »

There was a bug in the IDE Fix Pack 6.4 for 10.3 Rio code that searches for the StyleUtils functions. It contained a hard coded (absolute) address that is only correct for the Update 1 VCL.BPL. So the patch failed for the RTM version or if the VCL.BPL is relocated (what is unlikely as it… Read More »

When I began writing the patches I used XE4 and all Win64… Read More »
The new IDE Fix Pack 6.3 adds some IDE fixes and makes DFM reading a little bit faster due to the usage of buffers on the stack instead of the TBytes heap allocations with unnecessary FillChar calls that were introduced with XE3. The compiler option extension -x-fpr also got a new feature. If a function… Read More »
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… Read More »
