I also think that having the NO_EXTENDED_RTTI option is good, but, maybe you
should not define it by default, because some projects that relies on RTTI
can break because of this bug in D2010 compiler, because it is propagating
the flag to all units that are compiled after one unit with the {$RTTI...}
flag..., this is sure a bug in the compiler

Have you ever seen this problem?
Not yet, I haven't had the time to play with the new RTTI.
If it makes problems then we probably should not define NO_EXTENDED_RTTI
by default. EXE size doesn't benefit very much from this directive (tested
with {$WEAKLINKRTTI ON}), however I think this option is nice to have
anyway.

[twsocket] ICS V7 and D2010 mess up with RTTI
Hi,
I had a very strange problem with your library v7 and Delphi 2010.
My software relies too much on RTTI for Record data, and (After loosing a whole
day trying to find out why it was happening) I found that your library sets
NO_EXTENDED_RTTI directive as Default wich sets {$RTTI EXPLICIT METHODS([])
FIELDS([]) PROPERTIES([])}.
But strangely, this $RTTI directive is propagating to the whole project
(Including MY PROJECT FILES...), maybe to some bug in Delphi 2010
I have found the following comments from a blog:
http://wings-of-wind.com/2009/09/03/community-pulse-coderage-4-rtti-reloaded/
"The size of the exe file will increase due of new RTTI info. The grow
percentage usually isn't significant, but for the developers which are very
sensible to their application size there are some tools to reduce the code
size: {$WEAKLINKRTTI ON} and {$RTTI EXPLICIT METHODS([]) FIELDS([])
PROPERTIES([])} - we must note that the latter compiler directive disables the
new RTTI only for the types (classes, records etc.) declared in the unit where
you put it, so including it only once at the top of one unit is not enough. You
need to add it to the top of every unit that declare types in addition to
{$WEAKLINKRTTI ON}. Of course, if you want to strip out this info from VCL you
must recompile it."
So, in theory, your library is correctly programmed, but I don´t know why, this
is propagating to my whole software and disabling RTTI for all my Record
types!!!
Have you ever seen this problem?
Thanks
Eric
