Which output:
TIntTree
TIntTree.TTree$LongInt
Forgot to ask, I understand that TTree$LongInt is the name the compiler
gave to the generic class when it is specialized, but what is
TIntTree.TTree$LongInt? What is the meaning of "Scoped" type (or type
with "namespace"?)?
Your TIntTree is declared like this:
=== code begin ===
type
TIntTree = class(specialize TTree<Integer>)
end;
=== code end ===
What the compiler now does is when it encounters the specialization it
generates a new type definition of that type (globally in the current
module, so that it can be reused by e.g. other classes) and adds a local
symbol reference to that type. So for code it appears that the parent
type was declared as a nested type inside the child type.
