AutoFlowchart v.3.5.2 updated

Mon, 28 May 2012 00:50:00 +0400

AutoFlowchart is a source code flowcharting tool to generate flowchart from source code. Its flowchart can expand and shrink, and you can pre-define the the width, height, horizontal spacing and vertical spacing. Move and zoom is also very easy. It can export the flowchart as a Microsoft Visio file, Word file or a bitmap file. It can help programmers understand, document and visualize source code.

BoxedApp SDK v.3.3.0.0 added

Fri, 25 May 2012 19:37:13 +0400

A developer library for application visualization providing the ability to create virtual files, virtual registry entries and values. BoxedApp SDK creates a virtual file system and virtual registry. Add virtual files and your application will "think" that such files really exist. No temporary files are created. You create a virtual DLL file and then load it. Embed any files, DLLs, ActiveX and OCX into your application. Hide application's files from user, create applications that run without installation. Samples for C++, Delphi, C#, VB.Net are included. x64 is fully supported.

Includes examples (available in C++, Delphi, C#, VB.Net and others).

ProDelphi v.26.5 updated

Fri, 25 May 2012 02:35:02 +0400

Source code profiler for Delphi Win32 applications (runtime measurement).

The principle of source instrumenting, the sophisticated measurement correction algorithm and the granularity of 1 CPU-cycle guarantee a high measurement accuracy. Even very small or multiple nested functions are measured precisely. After profiling with ProDelphi you know where the bottle neck is, not where it might be.

This version supports source code containing identifiers, unit names and file paths with ANSI code characters only (Unicode characters in strings and comments is supported). A professional version which supports Unicode characters in filenames, unit names and identifiers is also available.

Source instrumenting ensures that idle times caused by certain Delphi- or Windows- API-functions (e.g. Sleep, MessageBox, WaitForSingleObject etc.) are automatically excluded from measurement.

The extremely low measurement overhead guarantees even to measure time critical applications.

The user friendly human interface makes the profiling process fast and easy, the sorting viewer enables the user to find the bottlenecks at first glance. With one mouse click the file with the measured method is opened in Delphi. The cursor is positioned at the beginning of the measured method.

An optional call graph shows who called a procedure and who is called by it. Also how often this happened and what time was consumed when processing this path is displayed. This call graph makes a quick 'following the execution path' possible without searching in the sources.

With printing measurement results the success of an optimization can be documented.

This freeware version displays a maximum of 20 measurement results. The professional version displays the maximum of 64000 measurement results.

Excerpt of additional features:

Cyclic storage of measurement results for long period measurement
Documentation in form of a User Guide,
History function,
Optional exclusion of procedures consuming less than 10 micro seconds,
Measuring runtimes in DLL's,
Measuring specified parts of procedures,
Online activation and deactivation of measurement,
Programming API,
Optional German user interface.
Starting from command line or batch file possible.
Support of generic classes.

ProDelphi 64 Bit v.26.5 added

Fri, 25 May 2012 00:00:00 +0400

ProDelphi64 is a tool to measure the runtime of 64 bit programs developped with Delphi XE2. First successful industrial usage of ProDelphi (32 bit version) was in February 1998. Since then it has been permanently improved, also a lot of customer suggestions were integrated.

The principle of source instrumenting, the sophisticated measurement correction algorithm and the granularity of 1 CPU-cycle guarantee an outstanding measurement accuracy. Even very small or multiple nested functions are measured precisely. After profiling with ProDelphi you know where the bottle neck is, not where it might be (see profiler types ). To compare the measurement accuracy of ProDelphi with any other profiler, a profiler tester is supplied in the download area.

Source instrumenting also ensures that idle times caused by certain Delphi- or Windows- API-functions (e.g. Sleep, MessageBox, WaitForSingleObject etc.) are automatically excluded from measurement.

The extremely low measurement overhead guarantees even to measure time critical applications.

With printing measurement results the success of an optimization can be documented.

BoxedApp Packer v.3.1.0.0 added

Fri, 25 May 2012 00:00:00 +0400

Developer utility for creating full-fledged applications that don't require the installation and can be packed in a single self-sustaining executable. Your applications may utilize third-party libraries and components and get the most of your PC, and yet not affect the computer's physical registry or hard drive, as they would be extracted directly into memory, virtual space and registry. Functionality can be further expanded by utilizing plugins.
