And inclasses are now at 30%. Containers? Hello, that's why I'm implementing box type. Everything is doable, you know the array or set, classes in other languages just specify interface IEnumerable, and they support for each. As I said I don't care if any of my changes gets into fpc tree. If you like it, you can have it, as free as in beer, that's why I asked if I should remove my work to other place and just notify you when feature is 100% and available for your testing whether you like it or not. > > box-type 0% (something like variant, but simpler, better and less memory > consuming) > > > > and some other things which are mostly done, but my best guess is that will > be > pascal-off or too- > > heretic-like and used by me only. > > History has shown that using incompatible solutions isn't that good.

Isn't the main reason I try to help here (and I specified it now for at 5 times) that I don't wanna break anything to you with my patches. Patches will be done. Patches will be downloadable (if they don't get in fpc tree). I would be more or less 90% done already if I wouldn't go trough this yapping and waiting. btw. Don't you think that I would do things under my name if I would wish any kind of gratitude or fame? Nope, I would just like to contribute (as thanks for your work), but not only to you but to whole community. I always did, and I always will. ml > > _______________________________________________ > fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org > http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through Horde-Toaster (http://qmailtoaster.clikka.com/) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
