I meant that C++ templates (and maybe Pascal generics which are very similar if I am not wrong) are faster than Java generics. Maybe it has to do with that primitive types in Java cannot be added to generics at all, but need to be wrapped in an object. I also don't see why a template list would be slower than a fixed-type one. It should be the same. Its just a copy of the same code. Anyway C++ guys claim that templates are faster than Java generics, I'm just repeating what I heard. If they aren't faster, then Java has better generics, because they are easier to use and debug. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
