RAD Studio 2010 Hotfix 2 available
Hotfix 2 for RAD Studio 2010 (for Delphi 2010 and C++Builder 2010) is now available at http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/27671
Description of updates that are included in this hotfix:
- This fix restores Type Library options for “SafeCall function mapping” and “Source Refreshing” in the Delphi Options dialog.
- This fixes an issue in CPP32.EXE when the C++ source file that is printed in the pre-processed file is always lowercased if the drive that CPP32.EXE is located on has a volume name of drive longer than 9 characters. With this fix, the original case will be preserved.
- This fix is for an issue in DataSnap communication when using filters.

“has a volume name of drive longer than 9″
Seriously? whiskey tango foxtrot territory – That’s bizarre no matter how I think about it.
Anyone care to venture a situation where the forced lowercasing would be helpful – even for debugging territory?
Extra credits for explaining why a compiler should look at volumn name in ANY event (with perhaps the sole exception of OSes like Amiga that can refer to media by volume name instead of mount point/drive leter) (** Don’t forget, it apparently did not care about the source code’s location, but rather just the location of the compiler itself!)
Unfortunately, the datasnap 2010 filter performance issue is NOT solved by this fix.
Hi Bob, we are looking that
They probably removed some really old code that looked at the volume label, posssibly to manage reinserting of the compiler floppy? ;=)
