DelphiSpeedUp 1.6

[Andreas Hausladen]

I have uploaded the new version 1.6 that fixes all bugs that I was able to
reproduce.

Download:
http://andy.jgknet.de/misc/DelphiSpeedUpV16.zip

Version 1.6
===========
- Switched to newer FastMove version.
- FastCode functions are now selected depending on the used CPU
- Fixed MSVCRT.StrLen/StrCmp bug (caused AVs) [seed b.p.d.l.basm]
- Some new speed improvements for BDS 2006 (but not that much faster)
- Added version number to spash screen
- Fixed FastObj bug with classes that overwrite
TObject/TInterfacedObject.NewInstance [=> CodeHealer]
- Moved VCL and IDE related code out of Utils and FastRTL what makes it
easier to use the units in your own package based application.

* Delphi 2005 support still not tested

When I download this, WinZip says it doesn't appear to be a valid

Anyone else seeing this?

That happens when you copy&paste the filename from the older file but use
7z for compression.

I have replaced source code "zip" file by a real zip file now.

In Delphi 5 after installing version 1.6 results "Error creating form:
"=" expected on line " and "Error creating form: "OBJECT" expected on
line 1" errors, when trying to open existing dfm's. There were no
noticeable problems with 1.5 (except that SHIFT+F9 for Build did not
work before opening Project menu).
I uninstalled version 1.5 before installing version 1.6.

Hi Andreas,

The FastMove used (Ver 3.0) in DelphiSpeedUp Version 1.6 is still not the
very latest. The latest version (Ver 3.03) can be found at
http://fastcode.sourceforge.net/

Hi Andreas,

It looks like you have introduced a bug in this version.
On the Object Inspector, when double clicking on an empty event (to create it) , I'm getting an error message :

Expected ';'but ')' found

Step to reproduce (BDS2006)
Create a new win32 project
Add an OnCreate Event : you will get the error message.

Here is the generated code :

unit Unit2;

interface

uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs;

type
TForm2 = class(TForm)
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObjec)); <============= ERROR ('t' is replaced by ')' )
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
Form2: TForm2;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin

end;

end.

[Stephane Wierzbicki]

needless to say that removing delphispeedup solves my problem ;)

[Clinton R. Johnson]

Not sure why, but with DSU1.6, code completion can no longer insert
methods in a sorted order. DSU 1.5 does not display this problem.

IE:

Type
TMyClass = Class
Private
Public
Procedure A;
Procedure B; <invoke code completion with shift-ctrl-c>
Procedure C;
End;

Procedure TMyClass.A;
Begin End;

<this is where TMyClass.B; would normally be inserted with code
completion as the pre-existing methods are already in order>

Procedure TMyClass.C;
Begin End;

<this is where TMyClass.B; is inserted with DSU 1.6, and is where a
method would be inserted by class completion if the methods were NOT in
sorted order>

It might seem like a minor thing, but who knows what's been broken or
if it is vital to the compiler? Besides, I like to be able to insert
my methods in sorted order, as they are easier to find later (I just
wish that code completion did its best to find the position instead of
giving up and jamming it at the end... like if you had a b f p c ,
insert K after g, isntead of all the way at the end.., but that's
really outside the scope of the DSU & this bug <grin> )

Hello,

Thanks for the info. But I was sure that I downloaded the file from there.
Hmm. Maybe I downlaoded it to another directory. Who knowns...

XanaNews Version 1.17.5.7 [Q's salutation mod]

[Q Correll]

Andreas,

| I have uploaded the new version 1.6 that fixes all bugs that I was
| able to reproduce.

The"Error while unpacking..." error-message is now gone.

And the doubling of time to load D2006 (20 sec pre DSU to 45 sec using
DSU.) has now reduced to be essentially the same as prior to using DSU.
(20 sec to 22 and 20 sec [1st use, second and subsequent uses].
Measured by stop-watch, not timed from the system.) So I get no
improvement in loading speed performance, actually about a 10% (22 sec
vs. 20 sec) degrade in speed on the first load and no change on
subsequent loads. However, the time to close-unload D2006 is
remarkably improved from 20 seconds to about 6 seconds.

It occurs to me that the reason I don't see [as much of] a speed-up as
others is most likely due to my anti-virus (AVG) and anti-spyware
(Ad-Watch) software. They are probably trapping and investigating
every file load operation. There is nothing I know of that you can do
about that.

Thanks for your efforts!

I've applied update2.
Can anybody having update2 installed can confirm this issue ?

[Andreas Hausladen]

Version 1.65:
http://andy.jgknet.de/misc/DelphiSpeedUpV165.zip

Changelog:
- Fixed Delphi 5 bug with ALT+F12 (Delphi 5 uses "old" FastCode unit)
- FastMove 3.03 (06-MAR-2006)
- Original FastCode

Maybe this version also fixes the BDS 2006 bug with auto completion.

[Clinton R. Johnson]

This also fixes the class completion sorting bug also.

Thanks! Its a great tool and a hell of a contribution to the community!

I've update 2 installed and noticed the problem described when creating
a DataModule.OnCreate event and I got the exact problem described:
"Expected ';'but ')' found "

Is Fastmove 3.03 a part of fastmm 4.x ?

This fixes a bug I noticed in Delphi 5 with DelphiSpeedUp version 1.6;
breakpoints weren't working when debugging a dll.

Yes, I still plan to improve bcc32pch (e.g. merge DelphiSpeedUp and
bcc32pch). But at the moment I do not have the time to work on both tools.

Thank you for the link....
I did a confusion with the FastMM lib (memory manager) and FastMove lib... (too much fast... for me :) )

ModelMaker Code Explorer v4 and DSU v1.65 cause D2006(Up2)IDE to crash
on my machine. Uninstalling DSU takes care of it.

You can try to make the Borland directory trused in the AV setup

Julian

[Matthew Jones]

I don't know if this is related, but with DSU 1.5 installed I'm finding
that hitting F9 to run my app isn't always doing a build before running.
I'll change a line to fix something, then hit F9 and it doesn't get
compiled. This might be related to the removal of the "rebuild" question
when debugging (which I like having removed - such a time saver!).

Anyway, I thought I'd raise it in case it isn't just me.

Julian,

| You can try to make the Borland directory trused in the AV setup

I've had too many attempted "application hijacking" attacks to trust
anyone. <g> Which reminds me, my firewall is also involved. It checks
all executables, including DLL's. That's what catches application
hijacking attempts.

What Delphi version?

As I mentioned to you in Gerrit's newsgroup, I do NOT have the same
problem. I'm also using MMX 4.07b and DSU 1.65 under D2006 (Win32
personality only). I have also crippled Together (renamed
tgide100.exe) and have Code Insight - Error Insight unchecked.

I use SyGate Personal Firewall. The last version (5.6), I believe,

Delphi 7. It is definitely an effect, but I can work around just by typing

No, because I use a FastObj.pas that has my modifications, but I want to

Ver 1.65 works well with Delphi5, thanks.
