If you're interested, please contribute to the thread titled "Survey: Which Delphi do you use?". -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top Bruce McGee Guest Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2005 8:12 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi survey in BASM group Just over 50 people have replied so far and Avatar has posted a pretty good summary of the results. Please feel free to add your details. On top of being interesting, it'll help the FastCode guys understand which versions are being used most and should be supported. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top Joe Hendricks Guest Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2005 9:16 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi survey in BASM group Quote: Please feel free to add your details.

Why would we be interested in FastCode ?? Many of us use NexusDB MM, which I think is far superior ( www.nexusdb.com ). If Borland decides to use a third party MM, I certainly hope it is NexusDB MM, not FastCode.

If Borland decides to use a third party MM, I certainly hope it is NexusDB MM, not FastCode. I'm sure there must be some threads that compare them, and support your position. I've looked in the basm group, but I didn't find such, but I may not have looked far enough back. Can you point me the way?

Oh my, I am sure that not one guy or girl (do they have some?) from NexusDB would sign that :-) Ralf Back to top Bruce McGee Guest Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2005 1:19 am    Post subject: Re: Delphi survey in BASM group Joe Hendricks wrote: Quote: I filled out the survey, but..

I don't know how it got started, but bunch of speed obsessed volunteers make competing implementations of a given function looking for the absolute fastest and most robust version possible. A lot of the functions are suitable replacements for existing Delphi RTL functions or would make good additions. You might be surprised how often some of the low level routines get called in a typical Delphi application and how much these new implementations will speed things up. Three FastCode functions shipped in Delphi 2005, and there's a pretty good chance that more will ship in DeXter. Or you could always replace them yourself or look at the pre-rolled FastCode libraries. You don't even have to live and breathe BASM to take advantage. Check it out: http://dennishomepage.gugs-cats.dk/FastCodeProject.htm As for a replacement memory manager, I don't really care if it's a commercial or open implementation (well, I do, but that's another conversation), as long as it's the fastest and most robust one available. Nexus is even one of the competing entries. http://dennishomepage.gugs-cats.dk/memoryManagerChallenge.htm -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top John Kaster (Borland) Guest Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2005 4:59 am    Post subject: Re: Delphi survey in BASM group Bruce McGee wrote: Quote: The FastCode project covers a lot, and the memory manager is just one piece.
