I believe I managed to solve the problem and now non-generic procedures take
precedence. I guess it’s possible that you could opt out of an implicit
specialization now but declaring and overload which the specific type you were
interested in. This is probably a good fallback to have so it’s good it’s like
this now.
{$mode objfpc}
{$modeswitch implicitgenerics}
program gi_implicit_overload;
procedure DoThis(msg:integer);overload;
begin
writeln('DoThis:',msg);
end;
generic procedure DoThis<T>(msg:T);overload;
begin
writeln('DoThis$1:',msg);
end;
begin
DoThis(1); // DoThis:1
DoThis('string’); // DoThis$1:string
end.
