IMO this makes them rather useless. Is that a technical limitation or just something you did not want to do? I don't know much about compiler internals for forgive me my naivety. If I have TFoo<T> and a TFooHelper<T> and somewhere declare a TFoo<Integer> and use a method from my helper can't the compiler make sure to compile the TFooHelper<Integer> version for it? I guess it's because it does not know anymore that TFoo<Integer> is in fact a closed generic type that was constructed from the open geneneric type TFoo<T>? _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
