Delphi Playground

**Source: [https://github.com/tregubovav-dev/Delphi-Playground](https://github.com/tregubovav-dev/Delphi-Playground)**

A collection of Delphi code examples, patterns, and best practices for modern Object Pascal development.

Contents

Pascal Helpers

Located in Source\Helpers\. A comprehensive guide to using Class and Record Helpers to improve code readability, safety, and sustainability.

  • 01 - Introduction: Basic syntax, Fluent Interfaces, and RTL extension.
  • 02 - Simple Types: Patterns for extending primitives (Boolean, Integer) using Distinct Types, plus safe Enums and fluent Arrays.
  • 03 - Enums and Sets: Advanced handling of C-style enumerations and bitmasks.
  • 04 - C API Wrappers: Using C-style Handles as safe Object-Oriented interfaces.
  • 05 - Restrictions: Known limitations (Generics, Interfaces, Inheritance).

Advanced Records

Located in Source\Records\. Explores the power of Record Wrappers and Operator Overloading to create robust value types.

  • 01 - Overloads: Zero-overhead wrappers for primitive types.
  • 02 - Safe Sets: Fixed-size bitmasks that behave like Pascal Sets (C-Interop safe).
  • 03 - Atomic Wrappers: Lock-free thread-safe Integers and Sets using CAS loops and Volatile memory.
