That annoying “Source file not found” dialog

If you don’t have Enterprise edition of EurekaLog (the one, that comes with sources) – sometimes you may encounter “Source file not found” dialog like this:

What is this dialog? And what does it want from you?

Tips & Tricks in EurekaLog, part 1

Many our customers often ask trivial questions about how to do different things with EurekaLog. Well, we have a bit of documentation (chm-file and online one), which describes some public internals, which you can use to customize default behavior. Apparently, this is “dictionary”-like style documentation. In order to use it, you must study all pieces and then come with some way of putting them together to get the desired behavior. Looks like this is too much work for many people, as they continue to ask trivia questions like “My application runs in unattended environment. How can I disable EurekaLog's dialog?”.

EurekaLog 6.0.21 is out

We are pleased to announce the availability of the new 6.0.21 version.

Check your Delphi’s installation – it may be infected

First of all, a brief disclaimer:

This is not a notice about virus in EurekaLog! Please, do not misread/misunderstand this blog’s post.

May be EurekaLog’s blog is a bit unsuitable for this kind of post, but I decided to post it here anyway. The reason for this is that this threat is quite new, so not all anti-viruses can detect it (I’m aware only of Kaspersky’s anti-virus), it appears that large part of Russian Delphi’s developers are infected with this thing (not sure about other communities), and, finally, I’ve spotted a suspicious support tickets, that may be caused by this.

(Re)Installation of EurekaLog

The new RC is going out today, so I decided that it’s perfect time to write about (re)installation process. Some of you may have troubles with it, while most other don’t.

How to read bug-reports

Well, recently I’ve noticed that there are many people, who have certain difficulties with reading and/or understanding bug-reports. There are many related questions both on support and forums. While it is quite surprising for me, it looks like there is a problem, which need to be solved.

Catching memory leaks

Before return to discussion of other ways to catch "bad" pointers - I wanted to talk about memory leaks and tools for its diagnostics. As we'll see later, this topic is very close related to our previous talk.

Compiling from the command Line

One of the areas where questions often arise is in compilation from the command line. So I thought we would have a closer look at how command line compilation works, why it is needed and what the various options are available when you need to use it.

EurekaLog's anti-freeze feature

As you know, EurekaLog is a great tool to catch exceptions in your application. Though there are some cases which you want to consider as "bugs", but there is no exception to catch it!

Integrating SmartInspect and EurekaLog

Integrating SmartInspect's logging capabilities and EurekaLog's exception reporting mechanism is a great way to improve the reliability of your Delphi applications.
