Delphi 2007 supports ASLR and NX

Mike Devery — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:43:28 +0000

Delphi 2007, available now, supports ASLR and NX.

The CodeGear Delphi 2007 compiler supports ASLR via any of these three techniques:

add the command-line switch –dynamicbase when compiling with dcc32
add the preprocessor command ‘{$DYNAMICBASE ON}’ to the source code
manually OR in the bit in the header, with ‘{$SETPEOPTFLAGS $40}’ in the source code

The CodeGear Delphi 2007 compiler supports NX via this technique:

manually OR in the bit in the header, with ‘{$SETPEOPTFLAGS $100}’ in the source code

The easiest way to enable both ASLR and NX is to do this:

add ‘{$SETPEOPTFLAGS $140}’ to the project source file (.dpr or .dpk)

Thanks to Barry Kelly for prodviding this information!

Delphi 2007 and CodeGear field test programs

Mike Devery — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 17:09:08 +0000

My favorite thing about Delphi 2007 is that it is the direct result of customer input. We asked you what you wanted, we listened to you, and we tried our best to meet your Windows native development needs with Delphi 2007.

We get your input through many sources. Some of the ways we hear what you want include customer surveys, public newsgroups, Quality Central entries, customer meetings, emails, blog postings, Delphi Hour sessions, technology partner programs, field test programs, and beta-banger sessions.

Our goal is to create development tools that you are going to love using every day. The field test programs provide an opportunity for customers to test pre-release versions of CodeGear products, give us your feedback on usability, compatibility and stability, and help us create development tools you will love. Field testers interact directly with the CodeGear development team through private newsgroups and QC.

We also invite our field testers to participate in beta-banger sessions. In beta-bangers sessions, customers demonstrate their applications for the CodeGear development team by editing, designing, compiling and debugging using our latest in-house build. These sessions are invaluable to us and usually result in modifications made to our products to improve the user experience. Beta-banger sessions are held in our offices in Scotts Valley and through web meetings all around the world.

We are always looking for passionate customers who would like to give us feedback on new versions of CodeGear products. If you would like to participate in a field test program for a future release of Delphi or C++ Builder, please send me an email to mdevery at codegear.com, and help us create the next generation of development tools that you will love using every day.
