In a standard standalone deployment, madExcept code, configuration strings, and compressed map data inject directly into the main .exe file. The binary handles its own internal routing entirely. 2. Modular Package Deployment (Shared Engine)
The madexceptbpl top value is crucial for:
Specifically, the IDE uses the %PATH% and system directories to search for BPLs during the initial loading sequence. It does not use the "Library Path" defined in the IDE options for this early binding. Consequently, if madExcept is stored in a custom directory, the dependency fails. The involves cleaning the registry of conflicting packages and ensuring madExcept is installed in a directory with proper NTFS read/execute rights for all users. madexceptbpl top
: Generating comprehensive reports that include full callstacks, thread information, and system details to help developers locate the exact line of code causing a failure.
[ExceptionBox] TopMost=1
Memory leak at address 0x10001000 (just below madexceptbpl top of Helper.bpl) Cause: A class constructor allocated memory, but the destructor was never called because the BPL was unloaded via UnloadPackage before the object was freed. Fix: Ensure you call FreeAndNil on all BPL-owned objects before calling UnloadPackage .
Thread $2A54: Stack walk stopped because frame pointed to 0x0500FFFF (above top of Main.exe) Cause: A BPL corrupted the stack frame pointer (EBP/RBP), tricking madExcept into thinking the return address was in no-man's land. Fix: Look at the previous 2-3 stack entries before the "Top" message. That is the true guilty function. Use $WARNINGS ON and check for uninitialized variables in that BPL. The involves cleaning the registry of conflicting packages
: The foundational runtime package responsible for intercepting unhandled exceptions and routing them to specialized exception handlers.
: In the first tab of your host project's madExcept settings, ensure "Link in madExcept settings" is enabled. This forces all loaded child BPLs and external DLLs to share a uniform crash-reporting layout, email routing destination, and UI styling. email routing destination
