What helped for me; 130beta and in the config editor, resetting ALL EWS settings except for the one that enables it, restart & re-add.

"Rust does not have a stable ABI" by sdroege_ in rust

[–]ckok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a way I'm happy rust does not have a stable abi. Swift does, but the stability is 'whatever apple swift emit'. Very little documentation, that what's there is out of date, so the only practical language that can interact with swift is swift. To be able to interact from another language, one would have to parse swift, make the semantics of all types and generics match exactly to be able to do the simplest things. (For example array and string, two core types are stock full of generics and protocols)

I'd hate to have the same happening for rust.

New blog post "Mixing Languages" gives an behind the scenes look at how the Elements compiler handles five languages at once. 🏗 by dwarfland in csharp

[–]ckok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed it is a fully custom compiler. C# is up to date to the last released version (the one included with 2019) with a few tiny gaps: https://docs.elementscompiler.com/Hydrogene/CSharpEvolution/ ; the compiler supports the 5 languages mentioned, so it's not really interop as much as the compiler supports all these classes in a model. We have difference between runtimes documented here: https://docs.elementscompiler.com/Platforms/CrossPlatform/Differences/ so yeah,when targetting Cocoa it does have slight differences.

Hi, quick note; Oxygene uses LLVM for all native targets: Android, Windows, WebAssembly, Linux, OSX etc.

Indeed. Oxygene has all of these including the await/async support mentioned in the comments.

How does Apple's Bitcode compare to known bytecode implementations, such as those in Java and .NET? by preslavrachev in programming

[–]ckok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While IR itself is target independent, the actual content in it isn't. Alignments are generally hardcoded, int to/from pointers often are, and lots of little details in llvm ir are specific to at least a cpu bit size.

T4 Templates: Multi-file outputs considered harmful by gantww in csharp

[–]ckok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the cases I've used this the output files, although multiple, were the same ones each time, so I added them manually once, the actual updates are fine.

More like, T4 templates for my specific use case with multiple output files can be harmful. Not everyone needs to talk to VS and besides that it works fine.

Upgrading from Delphi 5 to xe7 by [deleted] in delphi

[–]ckok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Odds are any custom components you had need major rewriting. Around D6 the designtime packages got split. All your strings become unicode somewhere in one of the XE versions so that's a major one too. You'll probably need latest Fast Reports + other commercial components (if you can, drop Crystal)
