As a follow up, here are a few generic type declaration examples lifted directly out of the CodeGear pdf Jonas was thoughtful enough to link:
*Please Note* These examples do not include generic constraints which I believe are needed to work effectively with generics. Generic constraints can be found in the referenced pdf section "3.1.3.3.5 Constraints in Generics" page 626 type TFoo1<T> = class(TBar) // Actual type end; TFoo2<T> = class(TBar2<T>) // Open constructed type end; TFoo3<T> = class(TBar3<Integer>) // Closed constructed type end; TMyProc<T> = procedure(Param: T); // procedure type TMyProc2<Y> = procedure(Param1, Param2: Y) of object; // event type TRecord<T> = record FData: T; end; IAncestor<T> = interface function GetRecord: TRecord<T>; end; IFoo<T> = interface(IAncestor<T>) procedure AMethod(Param: T); end; TFoo<T> = class(TObject, IFoo<T>) FField: TRecord<T>; procedure AMethod(Param: T); function GetRecord: TRecord<T>; end; _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
