C++Builder 2007 - List of Fixes from December Update

By: Chris Pattinson

Abstract: List of 46 fixes (12 from Quality Central) for C++Builder 2007 in the December Update

QC# Project Area
C++Builder Demos
Description: Steps:
Missing ShellControls source code that ships with Delphi. If you install RAD Studio or Delphi 2007, the following directory gets installed:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RAD Studio\5.0\Demos\DelphiWin32\VCLWin32\ShellControls

If you just install C++ 2007, the ShellControl demo doesn't get installed.

See also: RAID 253367.		 Customers upgrading from C++ Builder 6 who used the shell controls require the source to build and install the components into the IDE.

Description: Steps:
An AV occurs on run when you attempt to drop a component from the shell Controls onto a form. Deleting the component from the form results in an AV in the vcl100.bpl

<details in attachment>

WORKAROUND: Turn off build with Runtime packages. Deleting though still returns an AV in vcl100.bpl		 + Go to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RAD Studio\5.0\Demos\CPP\Apps\ShellControls
+ open the bcbshlctrls.bpk (it will be converted)
+ Project | Build
+ File | Close All (you can save if you want)
+ Open dclshlctrls.bpk( it will be converted)
+ Project | Build
+ Right click on the project in the PM
+ Select Install

Description: Steps:
The index is missing entries in various cases. I'm not sure how widespread this is, but it might be quite common. I noticed it for new files I added in the Borland.Data.AdoDbxClientProvider namespace. In particular, the following entries are missing:

TAdoDbxCommandBuilder.Create
TAdoDbxConnection.DataSource
TAdoDbxDataAdapter.RowUpdated
TAdoDbxDataAdapter.RowUpdating
TAdoDbxDataAdapter.Create
TAdoDbxDataAdapter.HasRows
TAdoDbxParameter.SourceColumnNullMapping
 1. Run help viewer.
2. Click Index tab at bottom right.
3. Enter "Borland.Data.AdoDbxClientProvider" in "Look for:" field to see entries for this namespace.

[QC Short Description]
New Forms App does not autocreate main form if autocreate forms is turned off

[QC Description]
After installing patch 3 to CB2007, a new C++ forms app no longer includes the code to autocreate the main form if autocreate forms is turned off. App will run, but main form is not displayed.

The main .cpp file that is created looks like this:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <vcl.h>
#pragma hdrstop
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
USEFORM("Unit1.cpp", Form1);
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
try
{
Application->Initialize();
SetApplicationMainFormOnTaskBar(Application, true);
Application->Run();
}
catch (Exception &exception)
{
Application->ShowException(&exception);
}
catch (...)
{
try
{
throw Exception("");
}
catch (Exception &exception)
{
Application->ShowException(&exception);
}
}
return 0;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that there is no Application->CreateForm() call.

C++Builder IDE\Project Management\Project Options
Description: Steps:
The -B switch (compile via assembly), when placed in "Other Options" is not passed to the compiler correctly -Open the attached project and build
//exp and act:
[BCC32 Error] AsmUnit.cpp(28): E2329 Invalid combination of opcode and operands
[BCC32 Error] AsmUnit.cpp(38): E2329 Invalid combination of opcode and operands
(these errors are due to limitations in BASM)
-Project | Options | C++ Compiler | Advanced Compilation | Other Options and add:
-B
-Build
//exp:
-B is passed to the compiler and there are no errors (TASM, not BASM is used)
//act:
It appears that .asm is generated in one step, then assembled in a separate call to TASM,
This results in many linker errors because tasm32.exe was not invoked with /ml

Also, adding #pragma inline to a file with inline asm has the same affect of
explicitly invoking tasm32.exe, e.g.
-Create a new VCL Application
-Double-click the form and add some inline assembly,e.g.
void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)
{
asm test eax,0
}
-Add #pragma inline at the top of the unit and build

OLD STEPS
Using subversion download the open source project


http://code.google.com/p/crylib/source version 99. (latest as of this time).

Open the classbuilder project (CryLib\crylib\src\Borland) and build it.

The code looks pretty simple to me. But it dies consistantly at this point.

C++Builder Compiler\C++\Front End\Exception Handling
Description: Steps:
Runtime bug in exception handling. Four objects are constructed, only three are destructed. The last object is never destroyed, which could have extremely serious consequences, depending on behavior of object destructor.

Output:

D:\bugs>bug19
Object constructor: 0012FF80
Object constructor: 0012FF58
Copy constructor0012FF50
Copy constructor007D340E
destructor: 0012FF58
destructor: 007D340E
destructor: 0012FF80
1


The final int in the output is the number of undestroyed objects.


One interesting result I found by experimentation is that if the constructor of Object takes a char const * instead of the std::string reference, the leak is gone!

(What's the parameter got to do with cleanup?)

The worst part about this is that the leak is very subtle, and most people wouldn't notice that it's not destructing the object, but may wonder why their application is behaving oddly.

(Does this belong in "backend" category?)		 bcc32 120869.cpp

Description: Steps:
ANSI 13.5.3 section 2. The code in the standard is not correctly executed. Specifically, the statement
dobj1 = dobj2; is supposed to call the implicitly generated operator=(const D&) but it incorrectly calls the user-defined operator(const B&).

struct B {
virtual int operator= (int) { }
virtual B& operator= (const B&) { }
};
struct D : B {
virtual int operator= (int) { }
virtual D& operator= (const B&) { }
};

int main (void) {
D dobj1;
D dobj2;
B* bptr = &dobj1;
bptr->operator=(99); // calls D::operator=(int)
*bptr = 99; // ditto
bptr->operator=(dobj2); // calls D::operator=(const B&)
*bptr = dobj2; // ditto

// **** BCB doesn't do the following correctly ****
dobj1 = dobj2; // calls implicitly ­declared
// D::operator=(const D&)
} [QC Entry 18637]		 Paste the following code into a console application. Notice that the final line of main executes the wrong operator=.

struct B {
virtual int operator= (int) { }
virtual B& operator= (const B&) { }
};
struct D : B {
virtual int operator= (int) { }
virtual D& operator= (const B&) { }
};

int main (void) {
D dobj1;
D dobj2;
B* bptr = &dobj1;
bptr->operator=(99); // calls D::operator=(int)
*bptr = 99; // ditto
bptr->operator=(dobj2); // calls D::operator=(const B&)
*bptr = dobj2; // ditto

C++Builder Modeling
Description: Steps:
Exception appears after switching to Model View mode



[saa] It reproductible only on my computer. I couldn't reproduce this problem on virtual machines		 1. Create new C++ project (Console application)
2. Click to Model View-> Add Model Support Window appears-> Click yes and then choose default settings-> Click ok->
Exception appears

[vkarjakin]
Attached is Projects folder for this Exception. Clean (or rename) your C:\Documents and Settings\<your account>\My Documents\RAD Studio\Projects folder and extract to this folder attached content. You will receive this Exception. The problem is in the infinite loop because the subdirectory has the same name as the project root directory (Borland.SCI.Impl.Cpp.CppProjectStructure class uses short names by the Projects folder parsing)!
Such situation can be repeated in many projects because of many reasons.

C++Builder Modeling
Description: Steps:
C++ Builder: Diagram should be updated after changing in the code inheritance list. Now Reload is required.

[Highlander Update]

Rev. 9858		 1. add following code to the C++ project:
class A{};
class B{};
class C{};
2. check that all 3 classes are shown in the diagram
3. in the code make class A as parent of class C:
class C : A {};
4. switch to the diagram - ok, generalization link is drawn.
5. now in the code changed parent class to B:
class C : B{};
6. go to the diagram - the link is still drawn from C to A. Update (F5) doesn't help. Only after project reload the link is drawn as expected - from C to B.

Description: Steps:
Old class stays in the model after having been completely replaced by a new one.

[Highlander Update]		 * new C++ console application (options: C++, no VCL, no Multi Threaded)
* add modeling support
* put the following code in the main.cpp

class a {
void f();
};
void a::f()
{}

* go to model tree
// act:
the class a is there
* go to the source code and replace both references to `a' with `b'
* go to model tree
// act:
both the class `a' and the class `b' are there but only the latter contains the method f()
------------------------------
Changed steps in build 2789.8895.1:
1. create vcl c++ project
2. add modeling
3. add a function to the class TForm1 with implementation out of class declaration - I'm not sure this step is essential.
4. check the class with new function is shown in the diagram and in the model tree
5. Go to the code and change class name from TForm1 to e.g. Taa - in unit1.cpp 4 times and in project1.cpp in USEFORM("Unit1.cpp", aa) (essential!) and in another line below (not really important)
6. Go to the diagram and see that 2 classes are shown TForm1 and Taa, ModelTree as well contains both classes. Only one class Taa should be shown.
7. After Project Reload extra TForm1 class disappears.
