The CrossTalk generated numbers in {} cause compiler errors. These numbers are correct per Patagames documentation.

It seems Delphi accepts numbers in the range pf  -2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647. The negative numbers shown above work.

I think CrossTalk needs to handle this somehow.

However, make it your lowest priority. I don't use this particular enumeration. But it is a pain having to fix it every time Crosstalk generates the file.]]>

DCL: 2.0.32
NET: 533320
Middle (x86): 2.0.32
Right: 2.0.32
UI: 2.0.32

I am messing around with Google LibPhonenumber for C#    ( For life of me can't get CPP version to compile so gave up.  )

Originally I found this @ landrix/LibPhonenumber-for-Delphi: Delphi-wrapper for the .NET port of Google's libphonenumber for parsing, formatting and validating international phone numbers. (github.com)

And for most part it works.  Looks like he wrote a middle man DLL type deal to go between Delphi and the .NET DLL ...  but only covers 2 calls of the over all library.

Limited, but does work.

Then I remembered CrossTalk and gave it A whirl.

It created a NET.PhoneNumbers.pas file

But it is missing a few things....?

Unreferenced <--- not sure?

Code:
  PhoneNumberUtil = class(TCTBaseObject)
  private
    class function ValidStartCharPatternRead: Unreferenced; static; /// <--- lots of references in the source import for "Unreferenced"
    class procedure ValidStartCharPatternWrite(const aValue: Unreferenced); static;
  protected
    class function CTFullTypeName: string; override;
  public const

..

..


RegexOptions <-- only used once... but I think? I just need to import some other .NET library to include this regex engine maybe?


Code:
  PhoneRegex = class(TCTBaseObject)
  private
  protected
    class function CTFullTypeName: string; override;
  public
    constructor Create(const aPattern: string); reintroduce; overload;
    constructor Create(const aPattern: string; const aOptions: RegexOptions); reintroduce; overload;  <--- only reference
    function IsMatch(const aValue: string): Boolean; overload;


TCTObject <--- Atozed.CrossTalk.BaseObject has no mention of this?
TypeNET  <--- this i get as Type is a reserved word... so it must create TypeNet ... but i figure this is to be something else really in the end?

Pretty much every object has this "Equals" call that references TCTObject the and GetType:TypeNet;


Code:
  AreaCodeMapStorageStrategy = class(TCTBaseObject)
  private
  protected
    class function CTFullTypeName: string; override;
  public
    function GetPrefix(const aIndex: Int32): Int32; overload;
    function GetStorageSize: Int32; overload;
    function GetDescription(const aIndex: Int32): string; overload;
    function GetNumOfEntries: Int32; overload;
    function ToString: string; reintroduce; overload;
    function Equals(const aObj: TCTObject): Boolean; reintroduce; overload; <--------- every TCTBaseObject seems to have this
    function GetHashCode: Int32; reintroduce; overload;
    function GetType: TypeNET; overload; <--------- every TCTBaseObject seems to have this
  end;

For now I just did this to get by

Code:
  RegexOptions = class
  end;

  Unreferenced = class
  end;

  TCTObject = class
  end;

  TypeNET = class
  end;

And it compiles...

And it runs....

Code:
Uses NET.PhoneNumbers, ...
..
..

var
  p: string;
  r: boolean;
begin
  Memo1.Clear;

  p := '18594091234';
  r := PhoneNumberUtil.IsViablePhoneNumber(p);
  Memo1.Lines.Add(format('phone %s is %s', [p, BoolToStr(r)]));  // -1 returned = true

  p := 'dumbstuff';
  r := PhoneNumberUtil.IsViablePhoneNumber(p);
  Memo1.Lines.Add(format('phone %s is %s', [p, BoolToStr(r )])); // 0 returned = false
end;

I imported a small DLL I wrote in C# ... Add/Subtract kind of deal. Just to play with.

And it too created references to TCTObject the and GetType:TypeNet;


This the win32 .NET DLL I imported

I am transferring byte arrays from .Net to Delphi. This operation is repeated thousands of times and the length of the byte array is beteeen 5k and 500k. The operations runs without issues for a couple of minutes but then crashes on the .Net side with the following error:

System.OverflowException

  Message=Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

  This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
    Atozed.CrossTalk.Right.CTStreamReader.Read() in CTStreamReader.cs


On the Delphi side I am using ByteArray.AsDelphiArray to get the bytes. The exception is happening when this method is called.

If I take the same byte array which causes this and transfer it in isolation (e.g. without making any other transfers beforehand) then everything works fine. So the error is caused by repeating the operation many times with different arrays.
 
I have already tried to use CopyToDelphiArray instead but it yields the same error.
 
I have also added a logic which catches this error and reverts to use a for loop to get the bytes from the ByteArray by index. This works but unacceptable slow. Note that once the exception was thrown AsDelphiArray only works for a couple of calls and then the same exception is thrown.]]>
