ADUG 2011 Slides

My presentation from ADUG 2011 is now online at http://www.thedelphigeek.com/p/presentations.html.

Check out the handouts document as it contains lots of my previous writing on OmniThreadLibrary (high-level stuff) neatly collected and organized into one document.

Delphi Down Under

This year’s Australia Delphi User Group symposium is a two day event with sessions in Melbourne and Sydney. The first of those – the Melbourne session – happened today. We met in the John Scott Meeting House at the La Trobe university.


Turnout was quite big – nearly 80 very attentive listeners.

GpProfile on Google code

You may know that lifetime ago I developed fairly successful Delphi profiler called GpProfile.

You may also know that it kinda slipped into oblivion and that it can’t correctly profile modern Delphi code (it is a source instrumenting profile, i.e. it changes your source code so it can be profiled).

You may know all that but I’m fairly sure that you don’t know that GpProfile now works for all Delphis up to XE! How can I be so sure? Because I only learned this a short time ago!

Антон Алисов (Anton Alisov) was brave enough to step in, update the code and create the Google code archive. Go Anton!

In case you’re still using GpProfile (or just want to find out why it was one of most popular Delphi profilers), visit gpprofile2011 project on Google code.

Synchronize comes to OmniThreadLibrary

This just came in:

• IOmniTaskControl.Invoke(procedure begin … end)
• IOmniTaskControl.Invoke(procedure (const task: IOmniTask) begin … end)
• IOmniTask.Invoke(procedure begin … end)

Still missing:

• IOmniTask.Invoke(procedure (const task: IOmniTaskControl) begin … end)
