FastMM and D5/XP |
Sat, May 9 2009 11:28 PM | Permanent Link |
"Jerry Clancy" | D5 already has enough problems with debugging in XP, but I found yet another
one. After updating DBISAM to Build 5 I decided to try FastMM. After sorting out the issue it has with madExcept I finally got it working but found that one could not restart from a breakpoint with it installed. Have no idea why so I just removed it from the .dpr file and the problem went away. There were no apparent problems at deployment, though, at least so far. Jerry |

"Jerry Clancy" | Tim,
I've got workarounds for most of those debugger problems, but this was the first time I tried to use FastMM and that was the result. Ripped it out.

<< I've got workarounds for most of those debugger problems, but this was the first time I tried to use FastMM and that was the result. Ripped it out. >> Did you try it without MadExcept ? It may be an issue there. We use FastMM4 in all of the .exes that we distribute, including the DBISAM Database Server, and they're all compiled using D5. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Jerry Clancy" | No, I didn't, though I had to prevent it from modifying the load sequence.
I'll try running the .dpr tonight with madExcept disabled. BTW, I know it always depends upon the nature of the app but how significant is the potential performance hit if you run without a memory manager?

"Jerry Clancy" | Tim,
Same issue without MadExcept.

<< BTW, I know it always depends upon the nature of the app but how significant is the potential performance hit if you run without a memory manager? >> Multi-threaded on a multi-processor or multi-core processor - significant difference. Single-threaded or multi-threaded on a single-processor with a single core - no noticeable difference. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< Same issue without MadExcept. >> Wow, that's really odd. Are you compiling using the source units of FastMM4 ? -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Jerry Clancy" | Good to know. I'm in the latter group for now.

"Jerry Clancy" | Yes. Used their supplied .pas unit.
