I have been using Delphi 4 for a couple of years now (started on delphi 3), mainly on 95/98 platform.
It has just occurred to me that I have not been concerned about platform of processor optimizations. I always use the optimize setting on the project options.
what I want to know is that:
1. With different O/S such as 98/ME/NT/2000 the microsoft libraries are different and optimized to that OS, does this affect the compiled exe of Delphi code.
2. Will compiling on the specific platform e.g. Win2000 produce a more optimized and stable version for Win 2000.
3. Is there any settings, either as compile or linking options, specifically designed for different OS and processors?
4. Should I include any code changes for different O/S and processors.
BTW, All my programs seem to work on 95/98/NT/2000 with no apparent problems by seem buggy in ME. (There are BDE problems on NT and shared database problems, but this is a BDE problem not a code generation problem).
Thanks in advance.
