QuickPDF v6.04.6 : Quality hint

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

In Delphi there's a genious feature called compiler switch. 

(range check, io check ...) if you turn them on, while programming and testing, you will find a lot of bugs before your customers do.

Can any MD5-Expert check this :

function MD5String(M: String): MD5Digest;
var
  Context: MD5Context;
begin
  MD5Init(Context);
  IF Length(M)<>0 { No String, No Doc ... } 
  then MD5Update(Context, @M[1], length(M))
  else MD5Update(Context, Nil, length(M));
  MD5Final(Context, Result);
end;

	Sorry to say that, but here there is no more customers here, just guys trying to keep this dll alive on their free time. I have begin with delphi and the dll on july and do my best to improve the dll. I am chocked you speak about my work and the work from others voluntaries so badly. If you have improvements to do, good. If you want to prove we are bad, keep away.

	Sorry, but you got me totally wrong. I didn't want to blame you in any way. But the first what happened after compiling with switches on, was I couldn't load any PDF. It happened to me in other cases too and it seems to be its a common behavior to let the switches off. But so you won't find a lot of problems. And yes we are all voluntaries and spend our spare- or worktime on improvements (Keep waiting for 6.05.0). Sorry again.

	Hi both. I am impatient to see the improvements !! Delbeke, if you need help for testing & debugging the new version, send me a mail. I am working today. I tried suggestions from HarryS and like he said, the library are unable to open any PDF using the "Range cheking" runtime errors of compilation. I'll wait your new version to see if I can do something regarding that (but maybe this already done by you or HarryS). Best regards, Lo�c
