: Can "patch" common Delphi libraries (like RTL or VCL) at runtime to ensure all exceptions are caught and logged. Troubleshooting "madExcept_.bpl" Issues

For top-tier enterprises and professional Delphi developers, the Full Source (FS) version of madExcept is a game-changer. Unlike standard binary libraries, the FS version provides the complete Object Pascal source code, including the low-level assembly injection modules, the symbol engine ( madSym ), and the UI renderer. This allows developers to:

To achieve clean stack traces across all modules without needlessly bloating your code footprint, configure your project settings tab according to these recommendations: Metric / Setting Component Main Host Application ( .exe ) Extension Modules ( .bpl ) Enabled (Injects the processing core) Disabled (Prevents duplicate code engines) Link in madExcept settings Enabled (Centralizes global UI styles) Disabled (Inherits settings from the .exe ) Function names & line numbers Enabled (Required for .exe stack traces) Enabled (Required to map .bpl crash sites) Resulting File Footprint Base size + ~10-15% tracking overhead Minor increase (~5% for compressed map data)

: Developers can choose to link madExcept code directly into their .exe or use runtime packages like madExcept.bpl to keep binary sizes smaller and modularize the codebase.

: Runtime modules dynamically defer to the settings and user-interface themes compiled directly into the parent EXE. If your modular project is linked against RTL.bpl , you can call standard routines like SysUtils.ShowException() , which madExcept hooks at runtime to invoke its comprehensive crash reporter.
