3 Libraries for improving Existing Applications built with Delphi
September 11, 2020
One topic I get increasingly asked about Delphi Programming when developers are migrating to the latest version of RAD Studio is “quick ways to improve their applications”.

If you are new to RAD Studio, then I would also recommend reading these, as they are very easy to implement and provide quick…
This is mostly a reprise of an article I wrote back in 2004, but that I still refer people to. That linked version may eventually go away. I have not tested any of this recently, but will update based on feedback, and revisit as necessary. I found a recent utility that may…
Looking to upgrade the memory manager in Embarcadero Dev C++ I investigated a number of memory manages including FastMM4-AVX. The second memory manager I looked at is called BigBrain 2020 and it looks to have significant performance improvements in some areas. There is a…

Pascal Analyzer makes a static code analysis. It only needs the source code, unlike other similar tools that perform an analysis of the running program.
We think that PAL will help you better understand your code and support you in producing code of…
