Delphi compilers that are supported by IDEFixPack need an address calculation fix in IDEFixPack (only fails if LargeAddressAware is enabled). And newer Delphi compilers inherited that bug from IDEFixPack and need a new patch.
How does making the Delphi compiler faster break C Builder compatibility? I have no idea, but sb. thinks that way. Maybe they saw that one bcc32 patch in #IDEFixPack
Hi @AndyHTech, I am a happy user of #IDEFixPack 6.4.4 with Delphi 10.3.3. Embarcadero just released Delphi 10.4 and I miss the fast compilation I have gotten used to with your optimizations. What are your plans for releasing an updated version with Delphi 10.4 support?
Any news on if/when an #idefixpack will be available? 10.4 compiles so slow i cannot upgrade to it. What will Embarcadero do if there are no plans for a new idefixpack?
If I do count one and one together then do not expect that there will be an #IDEFixPack for #Delphi 10.4. Learn to live without it and remember that Embarcadero is your host.
#IDEFixPack RSP-23006: The caret is back in #Delphi's Obj-Inspector. Time spend on the fix: 3 min. Time spend on getting that debugger to stop at my breakpoints: 20 min until I enabled remote debugging symbols. Why does the debugger become worse with every version. Still love XE.
#IDEFixPack now updates the compile progress dialog at a slower rate if it detects a RDP session => faster compilation because the compiler still runs in the UI thread.
I added a patch to #IDEFixPack that I started in 2015 in the "experimental" folder but never completed. The map file address listing is now sorted 80% faster. Sounds a lot, but the original code only took 70ms for 260k entries. Another small step to faster compile speed.
Do you hate to wait for compilation completed? Check out these tips by Radek Červinka, Embarcadero MVP. In addition to well-known IDEFixPack, he proposes some tricks, which allow you to speed-up compilation in Delphi 🤔

I commented one of my #Delphi QP reports with "The IDEFixPack fixed that bug, so the access violation doesn't occur anymore." and then it was closed with "IDEFixPack fixed this issue".
Well, the IDE still throws a hidden AV in jscript9.dll if you don't have IDEFixPack installed.
Doing some work on the #cef4delphi project. But I really should force myself to finish that #IDEFixPack patch that I started in July 2018.
Fun vs. reading and understanding assembler code.
