Code Dexter:delphi 2006, sneak peek.

With the Dexter launch of the day gradually approaching, Dexter beta test also entered a raging stage, the current Dexter status is 4th Beta, I haven't seen Borland products will be beta 4 (Delphi 8/delphi The 2005 was ordered after Beta 3, and it was gratifying that Dexter still had months to go on stability, ductility, and efficiency adjustments, because it represented the Borland's head that was now finally awake, I do not know Dexter launched in the marketing aspect is not to be able to wipe out the 8/delphi2005 negative impression of Delphi, but I know if Dexter according to the current plan to develop, then we will finally have a great product, OK, Not much to say politics things lest I have trouble, let us talk more about Dexter technology and the product itself.

If you don't know what Dexter is, simply say Dexter will provide the C + + for Win32,delphi for Win32,c#,delphi in an IDE (Galileo 4.0) for. NET development capabilities. And Dexter's main goal is to provide C++builder 10.0 function, is c++builder since 6.0, the largest major revision, the following list of things is probably the main function of Dexter:

-Same IDE as in Delphi and enhancement

-Is about IDE features, bugs fixes and Win32 (a Win32 supporting release)

-Conformance for Boost and ACE. Almost 100% ANSI conformance.

-SSE2 in inline assembler

-Code folding, basic refactoring (as in Delphi) and C + + specific

Refactoring

-Heavily revised compiler and linker

-Similar speed in compilation. The Code Insight is a much faster.

-Com-improved type library support

-Some features for a C + + tuned project manager, easier project manager

-Dinkumware STL, Intraweb, Corba

-Support Win32 Drivers Development

-Updated WIN32 Headers and libraries

-Full support to make tool (Commandlines)

-CVS support thru SCC API

Dexter in C++builder's code complete finally provides a quick response capability, and Delphi, in addition to the 1th time to start the code complete a little slower, then faster than before, many times, so C + + Builder users no longer need to close the code complete.

In addition, Dexter special C++builder users have developed new project manager, providing powerful project management capabilities in which developers not only have more control over more flexible settings, Dexter is also open for developers to set up various build jobs before compiling (pre-compile), after compiling (post-compile), and linking (Pre-Link). This allows developers to set up customized build programs, which should be a feature that many C++builder developers require for a long time.

Although Dexter's main force is to provide C++builder 10.0, but also in the Delphi provides a lot of drooling functions, such as together for Delphi finally made it, Delphi for Win32 and delphi.net now have the function of together, Delphi developers can finally use together for Delphi to develop a variety of different UML models, which is my personal waiting for a long time, the most important function. Here are the other aspects of the Delphi enhancements:

---Together for Delphi (win32/.net)

--eco 3

--More refactoring

--corba Support

Dexter has made great strides in the field of database technology, both in Win32 and. NET, which I am interested in, perhaps in the next article.

Another dexter most significant change was the use of the new memory Manager. Memory Manager (Borlandmm.dll), formerly Borland, was finally honored to retire after years of service and replaced by the new memory manager, the new memory manager in r& D provides better efficiencies than Borlandmm.dll, and Delphi R&d also hopes that the new memory manager will improve the overall performance of the Dexter IDE.

Now I think Borland's question is, when Dexter is officially published, how exactly is the dexter in all aspects of the strong progress? Is it to tell C++builder's users? or to tell Delphi users? C + + is invited at the Dexter product release What about the users of builder? Or the user who invited Delphi? This is an interesting thing!
