Hello, Let's say there is a function
function ICmp(A,B: PBigInt): SInt32; and a TBigIntList class having the following method that can sort the list according to Cmp procedure TBigIntList.Sort(Cmp: TBigIntCompareFunc); with, of course, type TBigIntCompareFunc = function(A,B: PBigInt): SInt32; Now, if ICmp is not overloaded, there is no problem, the call L.Sort(@ICmp); works. But, of course, it doesn't work if ICmp is overloaded. In fact, we cannot have both overloaded functions _and_ the the possibility to use them as variables. Yes, there are ways to fix the problem (no overload or embedding the overloaded functions in local functions) but none is really satisfying. Would it be possible to get something like L.Sort(@ICmp(PBigInt,PBigInt)); in case ICmp is overloaded? If we could add the parameter types, there would be no more ambiguity, the compiler would exactly know which overloaded function it has to use. When I ask 'would it be possible', I mean 'would it be possible without having to rewite all the compiler' ;-) mm _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
