Thanks everybody - very useful information. At least now I know when to
use which one.

The "FPC way" is fgl, the delphi compatible way is rtl-generics.

Performance is a multi edges sword anyway.

For a site that shows some benchmarking results for commonly used FPC hashes
(though actually more generic maps) see

The fgl unit is more lightweight while rtl-generics might provide better
performance.

No, it is for Delphi compatibility. It contains also more classes/templates.


Going forward (FPC 3.0.2+), which Generics code are we supposed to use?


You are free to choose either one. if you care about Delphi compatibility,
then you should use the units in rtl-generics.

Michael.
