With the requested changes I believe some precedence rules have changed. These
both should be "Can't determine which overloaded function to call" errors or
the non-generic should take precedence because the functions are ambiguous (by
appearance at least). Currently the compiler thinks DoThis<T> is better than
the non-generic and this may be because it was specialized as DoThis<ShortInt>
because the parameter of "1" is a ShortInt.
What should the rule be here?
=====================
procedure DoThis(a: word; b: word);
begin
end;
generic procedure DoThis<T>(a:T; b: word);
begin
end;
begin
DoThis(1,1); // DoThis<T>
end.
=====================
generic procedure DoThis<T>(a:T; b: word);
begin
end;
generic procedure DoThis<T>(a: word; b: T);
begin
end;
begin
DoThis(1,1); // Can't determine which overloaded function to call
end.
=====================

Ryan Joseph
