Ah I found it! And I'm glad to say that madExcept is not the culprit, but sad that I wasted your time. Basically, I'm configuring my debug desktop to show the "Threads" pane by default. And this is actually an issue with Delphi's debugger under Windows 11: https://blogs.embarcadero.com/win...

Hello, I have a very strange situation here, happening on only one of the computers I'm using and to none of my colleagues. We are all using Delphi 10.4.2 but in my case, here is what happens: Start Delphi Open a project Run with debugging Hit a breakpoint or stop on an exception IDE freezes for doz...

Thanks, but that means hardening and monitoring a web server for this usage. This also means that the support team would have to change its habits which is always a complicated thing.
So I believe that for now I'll turn off the SMTP option

Hello, We have configured our madExcept settings to show the "Send bug report" button with the following options SMTP server MAPI mailto However, as more and more STMP servers only accept connections with valid credentials, SPF and overly complicated things, we often encounter a situation ...

That's what I thought too, this option is set to False. And because those threads don't process any messages and don't call "PauseMeEventually", they wouldn't be paused anyway. Not entering blindly is something I had not thought of, the TMonitor record does provide a TryEnter method. But i...

In order to have additional information in my service bug reports, I register an exception handler like this: RegisterExceptionHandler(AddDetailsExceptHandler, stDontSync, epCompleteReport); And the AddDetailsExceptHandler simply puts text in a new bug report section like this: exceptIntf.BugReportS...

This is what I have here: procedure RestartService(const ServiceName: UnicodeString); var FileName: string; Content: TStringList; begin FileName := FileGetTempName('SV'); DeleteFile(FileName); FileName := ChangeFileExt(FileName, '.bat'); Content := TStringList.Create; try Content.Add('@echo off'); C...

The bug report not being attached but being in the email body usually means that MAPI didn't work, so madExcept has to use mailto/shellmail instead. Which is an inferior email client API. Thanks, I did not know about the difference between the two, that clears things up. You may have to google for ...

Hello, I have an issue here which is a bit odd and only occurs with recent versions of Office. Here is what happens when a bug report window is shown: The user clicks send The send wizard steps are fulfilled The user clicks "Send now" What we expect, and are seeing with most of our user in...

I was waiting for your validation as this is based on your own code. So here it goes: function GetProcessBugReport(ProcessId: DWORD): string; var SecurityAttributes: TSecurityAttributes; SecurityDescriptor: TSecurityDescriptor; ProcessHandle: THandle; TraceFunction: Pointer; {$ifdef win64} SessionId...

Thanks for the hint, I did not know this existed. I managed to adapt it into a function that gets a Process Id and returns a string, it's all I needed and it works just fine. Do you want me to post it somewhere? With that I can see what the child process is doing, which is looping on Application.Idl...

Hello, I have a main application (Main.exe) that calls CreateProcess to start a secondary process (Child.exe) and waits for it to finish. Both exe files are embedding madExcept. In some rare instances, this deadlocks and I have come up with the following instrumentation method inside Main.exe: Creat...

Yes, line number helps.

As to stripping parameters, maybe this could only be done if there are no overloads?
I mean, I don't mind them and this way, inside bug reports I could identify more clearly which one was called.

Yes, you are right, I could basically copy what FindAddress() is doing. Looking at the content of FPItems, I can see that there are two entries for ScrollIntoView, but I don't see any indications as to what parameters they accept. I was kind of expecting suffixes like $qqrv, $bctr$qqrp and the like,...

Hello, I'm using the following code to retrieve the address of a procedure: FScrollIntoView := GetMapFileAddress(GetModuleName(0), 'VirtualTrees', 'TBaseVirtualTree.ScrollIntoView'); This works fine for methods that do not have overloads. However, as is the case with the above method, there are tow ...
