Re: [fpc-pascal] Re: Delphi's anonymous functions in Free Pascal

Sokol, I'm writing a function GenArray(generator) that returns a random array populated by calling the generator function. So the return type of GenArray matches "array of" the return type of the generator function, for any generator function. E.g., GenArray(GenChar) would return a random string.

Thrice is designed to work for *any* array type, e.g. arrays of arrays of arrays of bytes. Even if I hardcoded several thousand possible types, Thrice wouldn't work for custom user types. If you do find a way to make this work, please let me know. Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker www.yellosoft.us On T
