Re: [fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Sven, I try the generic method inside one of my libraries and it generates internal error 200204175, but I can't reproduce it with smaller programs. How do you think I can help you to see it? It's currently a private project in bitbucket (just because I don't want people to use it before it's API s

But first fix the code so the test is correct. (The Min function is exactly the same as the Max function. Min should have A < B, not A > B.) On Tue, 24 Nov 2015 08:31:08 -0500 Sven Barth wrote Am 24.11.2015 14:26 schrieb "Anthony Walter"

Sven, it would seem you cannot currently cannot pass a generic T to resolve the type of another generic subroutine. In this example, Test cannot reuse T in its call to Min. I believe this line should be legal "Value := Min(A, B);" (see the code below for context) Currently when you try to compile

Re: [fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Here is another test, a bit more complex. It fails when trying to pass a procedure reference to the Execute. This is a bit different than trying to get a reference to a generic routine. Routines like ControlMove and ShapeColor and not generic. {$mode delphi} type TForEach = procedure(Item: T; A

More ... // This works function TestIsAs2(Item: TObject): T; begin if Item is T then begin Exit(Item as T); end; Result := nil; end; Now before you say "of course" :) I find it interesting because is and as are operators, just like > greater than and < less than are operators. In pre

Re: [fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Sven, in the with regards to "of course", I think you have it reversed. Is and as were being used as a class in my test, not an object. All examples in {$mode delphi} if Form1.Components[I] is T then // does not compile in my test while if Form1.Components[I].Inheritsfrom(T) // did compile In

[fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Hello together! I'm pleased to finally announce the addition of generic functions, procedures and methods (collectively called "routines") to Free Pascal which allows writing type safe methods that can be used for multiple types. Syntax: The syntax for declaring a generic routine is similar
