Your problem is that you have a Length property in your class, so that's
why you need to use System.Length(). Try something like this:
=== code begin ===
type
generic TMyHelper<T> = class
class function GetLength(aArray: specialize TArray<T>): LongInt;
end;
// in your object you do this:
type
THelper = specialize TMyHelper<T>;
// and in your GetLength method you use THelper.GetLength(YourArray);
=== code end ===
Not tested, it might not compile as is (maybe you need to tweak around a
bit).
In general I can't recommend anything before 3.0.0 for serious use of
generics.
