Re: [fpc-pascal] TypeInfo question

I think I already learned this and I forget when I had the idea about TypeInfo. :) This is basically the pattern I’m attempting. I have a generic class and I thought I could avoid specializing and making a subclass so that I could call a method if the type of the generic was a class. So what

No. The "" is a shell/cmdline convention, and API calls are generally not shell. Thank you Marco for the clarification. Sandro Cumerlato ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org

[fpc-pascal] TypeInfo question

I have some generics which operate on multiple types and instead of making subclasses for certain types and overriding methods I wonder if using the RTTI like: PTypeInfo(TypeInfo(T))^.kind = tkClass would be a good idea. How is TypeInfo() implemented exactly? I’m curious if there are any

[fpc-pascal] Delphi for Linux is out

Hi, Just thought I would mention, yesterday Delphi 10.2 was released which includes Linux support (I assume a cross-compiler). It is only available in the Enterprise edition product line though, and only Linux Server style apps are supported (no GUI/desktop apps). Just my 2c worth ;-) Regards,

At least not from me, I felt already ripped off by Embarcadero by not delivering on their promise to bring Linux last summer (Fortunately I did not renew my Pro-Subscription). Seeing that they wanted to do a 2nd rip off by only giving it to Enterprise customers reassured me that that decision
