Features: This book provides an in-depth exploration of the principles and implementation of Delphi's kernel (RTL) by analyzing its source code. Starting with the renowned MiniDExe minimal kernel example program written by Nico Bendlin, the book delves into the technical intricacies of Delphi at the compiler level, offering readers a glimpse into the core of Delphi. Subsequently, the author progressively wraps the code of this kernel, unveiling the specific implementations of Delphi's various functionalities. By listing key code and conducting systematic analysis, the book comprehensively examines the implementation of object structures, VCL, COM, and more in the source code. The content is detailed, insightful, and profound, covering main topics such as:
- The interaction between Delphi's compiler, Windows, Delphi RTL, and user code;
- The complete implementation of Delphi RTL kernel code;
- Operating system mechanisms related to Delphi's kernel;
- Initial (entry) code, modules, memory, threads, resources, and exception handling mechanisms.
This book is a rare and high-end technical resource, suitable for intermediate and advanced Delphi developers to study.
