			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Delphi, you can <em>overload</em> functions, but doing so requires using the <strong>overload</strong> directive explicitly, f.i. the following code declares two functions with the same name, one that will be invoked if you pass an integer, another that will be invoked you pass a string:</p>
<pre><strong>function</strong> MyFunc(a : Integer) : String; <strong>overload</strong>;
<strong>function</strong> MyFunc(s : String) : String; <strong>overload</strong>;</pre>
<p>In many other languages, the <em>overload</em> directive is implicit, you don&#8217;t have to type it and you can always overload. On the other hand, it means that as long as your parameters differ, you can end up overloading an existing function without noticing, which can lead to confusion.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SamplingProfiler was initially released in the <a href="https://forums.codegear.com/forum.jspa?forumID=88">Delphi ASM newsgroup</a>, and I&#8217;m curious about the audience of this website, so I&#8217;ve setup a small poll.</p>
<p>How familiar are you with code profiling and/or Delphi code optimization? Can you tell apart instrumenting and sampling profilers merely by their respective <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unusual_software_bug#Heisenbug">heisenbugs</a>, or is that profiler business sounding like a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115322/">TV series</a> from the last century?</p>
