delphi - Why ever declare members public instead of published? -

-

declaring members published has advantages on public:

  • ability read/write member in object insepoctor of ide
  • rtti , uses

so there ever benefit declaring members public instead of published? published have downsides? or should always declare members published, rule?

ps: not duplicate; read question , answers prior posting question. "possible duplicate" question explains difference between 2 keywords, doesn't gives guidance when either should used, or advantages/disadvantages of using either.

declaring published imposes storage cost because size of executable swollen contain rtti. declaring public avoids cost. it's unlikely ever matter, given immense size of modern delphi executables, containing huge amounts of code never executes.

for components can edited in object inspector, difference between public , published more significant. say, how component determines properties visible in object inspector. properties should visible there, others not. user "tlama" gives fine examples of properties need public, should not editable in object inspector: parent, handle , on.

beyond comes down opinion. it's entirely decide do.

mysql - FireDac error 314 - but DLLs are in program directory -

i getting when trying access mysql database : [firedac][phys][mysql]-314. cannot load vendor library [libmysql.dll or libmysqlld.dll] this did not happen (unchanged) code, however, have upgraded windows 10 , had reinstall delphi xe8, system configuration matter. in order try solve problem, copied both of files c:\windows\sysytem32. when did not seem work, copied them \win32\debug, generated .exe resides. i imagine doing rather stupid, can't see what. the proper solution place driver file (eg., libmysql.dll ) in application's folder, or place installation location in fddrivers.ini file: [mysql] vendor=<folder>\libmysql.dll (recent versions of documentation seem use vendorlib instead of vendor in ini file.) see rad studio documentation topics configuring drivers (firedac) , connect mysql server (firedac) more information.

-
so per documentation https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#list-releases-for-a-repository get /repos/:owner/:repo/releases should list relases , https://api.github.com/repos/jquery/jquery/releases should list releases in jquery project , not , why ? because repository doesn't have releases. has tags github presenting in releases page. for more clear example, see: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/releases which has both releases , tags showing on page, api shows releases: https://api.github.com/repos/hashicorp/terraform/releases
