As the specialized interface gets "inserted" into the specializing unit at that point, so should the implementation be - and at that point, the operator *is* overloaded. Instead, the overload has to be available in the implementation section of the generic type, /unless/ it is a class or record. That seems odd. You know I generally prefer consistency over obscure formal differences ;-) And it's not like we don't already have absurd operator chains without that, see 31215. > * use Generics.Collections I'd like to stick with fcl units, and rtl-generics seems pretty outdated compared to your repo? Of course, the issue itself also occurs with any user code, not just containers. That kind of lookup means *no* overload on non-object types is available to generics declared in other units: arithmetic, Implicit, Explicit etc. -- Regards, Martok Ceterum censeo b32079 esse sanandam. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
