Small library for Alternative Data Streams (ADS)

Thanks. Interesting.

Could you please edit your post and replace the code tags with Delphi tags, so we get syntax highlighting?

Code:

procedure bla;
begin
end;

vs.

Delphi-Quellcode:

procedure bla;
begin
end;

Thank you, i never saw that button

Passing a TStringList as Var-Parameter does not make sense in this context. The underlying instance has to be created and destroyed from outside, so you can even pass it as Const-Parameter.

Right and makes sense, only i prefer this usage (const vs var) with classes to distinguish between functions/procedures that read-only against what might change the content, so yes it is just cosmetic, like with this case and that example, but will makes difference with multithreads usage, easier to notice and remember and that is it, where and when need thread synchronization.

Also: we only can dream of compiler and more advanced Delphi/Pascal language feature to detect and prevent internal changes coming form class internal implementation, that makes const and var more powerful, producing safer memory and logical handling.

Die BackupAPI, und dafür die nötigen Rechte, ist garnicht nötig. (Administrator oder ein Nutzer mit Backup&Restore-Privilegien aka SE_BACKUP_NAME)
Seit Vista gibt es auch eine neue API dafür. FindFirstStreamW.

Mußt du dir aber selbt im Delphi implementieren, da die API-Imports im Delphi viel zu alt sind. (Winapi.Windows.pas)

Aber mit etwas Glück, kannst du diesen Teil vielleicht aus dem WinMD nutzen,
auch wenn zu viel Anderes einfach nur Schrott ist. (WinMD selbst ist OK, aber nicht das was Embarcadero daraus gemacht hat)
