Welcome to a series of tips and tricks for taking advantage of the new Windows 64-bit Modern toolchain in C++Builder / RAD Studio 12.2! This builds on a webinar we did sharing a bunch of useful information on why and how the new C++Builder matters to you, where this was the very end (so go watch the start!)
Tip #2: Handling Old RTL
The new Windows 64-bit Modern C++ toolchain is standards-compliant…

In the C++Builder and RAD Studio 12.2 launch webinar, we made a big deal of having fast parallel builds on by default:
This blog is to provide some practical info on the feature.
Using it
When you install 12.2, and use the Windows 64-bit Modern C++ platform, it is on by…
We’ve released the new Windows 64-bit Modern C++ toolchain over time: a preview in C++Builder 12.0 through to fully complete in 12.2 (dynamic package linking, CMake support, parallel building by default, etc.) In 12.2, it is a full replacement for the old Win64 toolchain.
But we’ve seen a few customers say, ‘Looks exciting, and I want to use it, but where are packages?’
They’re here.
The…
Back in October when we released C++Builder and RAD Studio 12.2, we introduced that we have fantastic CMake support.
We have both multiple demos and a lot of documentation on using CMake. This blog is to briefly point you to both.
Installing
The new CMake support, which is…
C++Builder and RAD Studio 12.2 bring a fantastic feature for C++: full CMake support for the new Win64 Modern toolchain.
It’s available in GetIt now, and it comes with some amazing demos. You can build VCL apps, FMX apps, packages, DLLs, console apps, as you’d expect……
We have a great productivity feature in Delphi and C++Builder 12.2: focus mode, also known as ‘zen mode’.
A few months ago when we released version 12.1, we added split editor views. This was the most radical change in the IDE since the fully docked design in the mid-2000s: that docked design put a single editor with many tabs in the center of the main window, and our introduction of split…
RAD Studio 12.2 brings several great improvements to C++. One of these is the completion of the new Windows 64-bit Modern toolchain with the addition of both using and creating dynamic packages (BPL files.)
Dynamic Package Consumption
When we released the new toolchain in…
We recently identified a potential buffer overflow in the C/C++ runtime library (RTL). Although this is an issue that was introduced to the code in 1997 with no exploitation since its introduction, we are publishing a notification and a fix for safety and openness, out of an…
RAD Studio 12.1 launched a few weeks ago, and while it was mostly quality-focused it added some key new features. The most major is an IDE productivity enhancement, one we’ve wanted to add for some time and which can be extremely useful… split editor views.
Where you used to have one editor (with many tabs) in the IDE main window, you can now have any number of adjacent editors (each…
