Delphi 2021 supports dynamic code generation via VirtualAlloc, copying machine-code bytes, and casting to a function pointer.
Example:
type TAddFunction = function(a, b: Integer): Integer; stdcall;
procedure RunCode4BinExample; var code: array of Byte; p: Pointer; AddFunc: TAddFunction; begin // Machine code for x64: add rcx, rdx; mov rax, rcx; ret code := [$8B, $C1, $03, $C2, $C3]; p := VirtualAlloc(nil, Length(code), MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE); Move(code[0], p^, Length(code)); AddFunc := TAddFunction(p); Writeln(AddFunc(10, 20)); // Outputs 30 VirtualFree(p, 0, MEM_RELEASE); end;
This is Code4Bin in its purest form: code that produces binary instructions.
Offline tools like bin2pas or online Code4Bin converters transform helper.exe into helper_bin.pas:
unit helper_bin;
interface const helper_exe_size = 65536; helper_exe_data: array[0..65535] of Byte = ($4D, ...); implementation end.code4bin delphi 2021
procedure ExtractEmbeddedHelper;
var
fs: TFileStream;
begin
fs := TFileStream.Create('helper_extracted.exe', fmCreate);
try
fs.WriteBuffer(helper_exe_data, helper_exe_size);
finally
fs.Free;
end;
end;
Call this procedure at runtime to materialize the binary. This is a classic example of code4bin delphi 2021 applied to deployment.
Let’s walk through a real Code4Bin workflow. This is Code4Bin in its purest form: code
Start by picking one small component—JSON mapping or the non-blocking dialog—and swap it into an existing utility or feature. The payoff is immediate: less boilerplate, clearer intent, and fewer hand-rolled edge cases.
Here are four real-world scenarios where you would search for or implement a Code4Bin solution in Delphi 2021.
Add helper_bin.pas to your project.
