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 #5: Split out C++ EH and SEH exception handling
After three separate variants of tip…

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…
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 for the Windows 64-bit Modern toolchain, the toolchain we recommend you use, contains changes we plan to submit back to CMake.
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…
If you are just starting out learning to develop apps then choosing RAD Studio with Delphi is a pretty smart move. I know, I would say that wouldn’t I? But I really believe it. There are many thousands of examples, code repositories, and free components waiting for you…
We continued our webinar with a look at how ridiculously fast and easy it is to create cross-platform apps with RAD Studio and connect to a variety of databases. One of the great strengths of RAD Studio, and particularly Delphi and C++ Builder is how it can use components like FireDAC to connect to almost any database system there is available. In the webinar I looked at the range of built-in…
One of the great strengths of RAD Studio is how little you need to do to create incredible apps which can run on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. The secret sauce to that is the component-based way of programming. These little gems of ready-made functionality which…
How to achieve common tasks with the new Clang toolchain in 12.1
The new Clang toolchain is here! RAD Studio and C++Builder 12.1 are shipping the entirely revised, wholly updated C++ compiler, linker, STL, runtime, and more – which you can also use in parallel with the old…
The new Clang Toolchain in C++Builder 12.1!
RAD Studio 12.1 has big news: we have released the first version of our new Clang-based toolchain! This is a complete revision of the entire technology stack, and provides a solid, modern, ‘done the right way’ foundation for all of C++ going forward.
Technical Info
The new toolchain targets Windows 64-bit Intel apps, and is based on Clang 15, with a…
