with the current trunk version of fpc based on the number and types of
errors I am seeing, some of which are related to generics working
differently (I still have a problem with interfaces in not being
initialized properly at times). I am not sure how to proceed in fixing
these as I feel like this will happen again with another future
release of
fpc breaking compatibility with the generics I've written. What
should I do?
Nothing about breaking backward compatibility regarding generics is
documented at http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_Trunk, so it may
just be a bug (unless you are working in Delphi mode, and the changes
improved compatibility with Delphi as far as generics are concerned).
As Marco indicated, what you should do very much depends on
specifically broke and why it did, and without a concrete example that
used to compile but now doesn't anymore it's not really possible to
give any useful advice.
