But it’s customizable, that’s the point. What happens when you remove an
element from a dynamic array? I don’t even know where to look in the source
code to find out and if I want to change something I can’t. Do dynamic arrays
resize memory when you remove elements? Maybe I don’t want that. Maybe I want
to grow the array at different intervals, can’t do that either.
I know this is very fringe but I personally needed to customize dynamic arrays
to escape that thread safety thing and when I couldn’t I had to make my own
array wrapper class which I would have preferred to be a record in many
instances, which I can do now. If nothing else it saves me lots of Create/Free
calls in countless functions. Pretty good news.
If I actually made a competent implementation (which I’ll do later) dynamic
arrays are possibly made redundant even, or close to it (providing the FPC RTL
had something like them included).
