The TypeInfo function checks the code during run-time thus the generated code is 'bloated'. Better use the compiler intrinsic GetTypeKind.{$mode objfpc} uses typinfo; generic procedure Add<T>; begin if GetTypeKind(T) = tkInteger then WriteLn('an integer'); if GetTypeKind(T) = tkString then WriteLn('a string'); end;
That's great but if the type is something like a TRec (custom record) or a class, it won't be possible to check the types AFAICT because those are special built in type kind values for common basic types?
