Okay, after some thoughts about it, changing the implementation to the way the documentation is written would also be bad, because sometimes we need to access a generic from another generic, eg: generic TGMatrix4<T> = record type TVector4 = specialize TGVector4<T>; ... end; Obviously we want that TGMatrix4 to be compatible with any compatible TGVector2 defined elsewhere... Same problem would be in the case of implementation of some data structures. -- regards, Kornel Kisielewicz _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
