Hopefully, it would be easy to implement it "manually": function PreInc(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; function PostInc(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; function PreDec(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; function PostDec(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; (with obvious implementation for any T supporting operator +/-). One could even think of something like: function generic<T> PreInc(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; function generic<T> PostInc(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; function generic<T> PreDec(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; function generic<T> PostDec(var value: T; Delta: Integer = 1): T; But... let's don't go there, generics are still not fully functional in their present form. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
