Borland as of a few years ago also ships a clang fork for C++ Builder, interestingly enough. It unfortunately does not solve all of the problems you encounter using C++ Builder in the modern age. I’ve personally watched the enshittification of too many proprietary tools to ever build something I care about on top of one today, especially something which becomes so fundamental to the design of your application like a GUI toolkit. I know it sounds crazy, like you’d never bother forking your GUI framework anyway even when it’s open source. But I worked on an application built in C++ Builder, at a company with enough engineering talent and willpower that we would’ve forked the compiler internally to fix its problems and limitations had we been granted access to the source. Instead, I got to watch the product get held back by it year after year, hoping that Borland would care. |
