In Delphi, I can do that using "T: record", but, when I try to use it in FPC (even using mode delphi), I got: > > project1.lpr(16,42) Error: Record type expected > > Small project to reproduce the error in attachment. > > Is this a normal behavior of the compiler, or is my code a erroneous approach?
Currently it is normal behavior of the compiler (because back then I didn't realize that in that context "record" means basically "non-nullable") and yes, there is already a bug report about it (just look through the not-resolved and not-closed bug reports with tag "generics"). I'm still thinking about how to name this better for non-Delphi modes... Regards, Sven
