Hi,
I don't seem to learn from my mistakes. Every now and again, I have the
urge to upgrade my Lazarus IDE to the latest version. I really should stop
doing that. I had a relatively good working IDE, then last Thursday I got a
svn updated and already I found 5 regression bugs. Reported two and not
bothering with the rest.
The reason for the Subject line:
With such constant regression bugs, I started my own IDE from scratch a few
days ago to see how hard it really is. In +-9 hours (avg of 1 hour each
evening) I already created an IDE that manages a project, has different
build modes, has user defined macros (eg: ${FPGUIDIR} = '/opt/fpgui/'), has
template projects, uses multiple threads for parsing, searching, compiling,
etc. It works consistent under both Linux (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows
32-bit (I don't have 64-bit Windows to test), and I don't break the IDE
after each new feature. So thanks to Lazarus, I'll probably continue my own
project. It seems the old saying of "why reinvent the wheel" doesn't apply
to the Lazarus project - it benefits the developer to reinvent the wheel.
I guess I am to blame. It was my fault for subscribing to the mailing list
again - simply to ask a question a few days ago. I think I better crawl
back under my rock and mind my own business.
Regards,
- Graeme -
