Upcoming Sydney meeting
Tuesday, 4th June 2013:
Join us for the ADUG
meeting in Sydney
Next Generation Delphi Language Enhancements - Lachlan Gemmell
When it comes to the Object Pascal
language Delphi XE4 can be seen as something of a turning point. XE4
introduces a number of new language features some of which are quite
significant additions. However XE4 actually includes 5 different
compilers for 5 different platforms and not all these features are
available across all of the compilers. Lachlan will explain these new
language features, their usage and implications as well as detail which
compilers they're available for. Since some of the new features are
actually breaking changes we'll look at how you can write code today
using pre-XE4 versions that will run on the new compilers tomorrow.
Some of the topics we'll be covering
- What is LLVM and why is it now important to Delphi
- Garbage collection via automated reference counting
- string type changes (zero indexed, immutable, deprecated types)
- operator overloading for classes
Join us for an
interesting evening at the Embarcadero board room. Members can also
