An excerpt of the newsgroup posting follows: I have a Windows app that has suddenly started crashing on me **before** it gets to WinMain, making it difficult for me to debug.The event log shows the thread ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/05/24/34829 In my “Debugger Enhancements since Delphi 7” post, I received a comment that it was not clear what I meant with the item “Set Next Statement menu item in the editor“. To clarify, this feature is a new menu item on the code editor's local popup menu.  Under normal circumstances, ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/04/30/34241 In the spirit of Nick's Since Delphi 7 -- On Steroids and Steve's VCL and RTL enhancements since Delphi 7 (D7), I'd like to provide a similar list for Debugger Enhancements (and other changes) which appear in Delphi 2007 that have been added in the various releases since the Delphi ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/04/13/33946 As Mike points out in this blog post, the compiler in Delphi 2007 now supports ASLR and NX.  In addition to the compiler support, the debugger in Delphi 2007 is now also able to run on a machine with DEP enabled.  DEP is the “set of hardware and software technologies that ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/04/06/33794 I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet, but last night at the SD West conference, the annual Developer Bowl was held.  The Developer Bowl is basically an IT industry trivia contest which pits local silicon valley companies against each other. Some of the questions asked were pretty esoteric.  I'm certainly glad I ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/03/23/33462 A few days ago, Nick posted an article, explaining where the examples are located in Delphi 2007.  The examples are not the only things to have changed locations in Delphi 2007 (though they may be the most visible).  As Nick explains, these changes were necessary to make Delphi a better citizen ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/03/22/33413 One of the things that I showed during my CodeRage session (replays are currently available here), is the ability to drag and drop text from the editor to the debugger's Watch view in order to create a new watch.   To be honest, I wasn't even intending to show that as ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/03/19/33227 I've heard us call the new installer technology “Instantaneous Software Delivery (ISD)” or “Electronic Software Delivery (ESD)”.  I think I'll call it “Really Cool Software Delivery”.  Whatever it's called, Michael talks about it here.  Being on the Delphi 2007 R&D team, I tend not to use the Delphi Installer that ... http://blogs.codegear.com/chrishesik/2007/03/16/33107
