Hello,

Looking an alternative to solve the problem I've talked at this topic
<http://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-pascal/2016-August/048635.html>,
I've tried to solve it declaring a macro named "TIStringComparer.Ordinal":

=== begin code ===

{$IFDEF FPC}

function EqualityComparison(constref ALeft, ARight: string): Boolean;
begin
  Result := CompareText(ALeft, ARight) = 0;
end;

function ExtendedHasher(constref AValue: string): UInt32;
var
  S: string;
begin
  S := LowerCase(AValue);
  Result := TDefaultHashFactory.GetHashCode(Pointer(S), Length(S) *
SizeOf(Char), 0);
end;

// see http://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-pascal/2016-August
/048635.html
{$MACRO ON}
{$DEFINE TIStringComparer.Ordinal :=
TEqualityComparer<string>.Construct(EqualityComparison,
ExtendedHasher) }

{$ENDIF}

=== end code ===

The macro is just for retro-compatibility with Delphi, allowing to use this
syntax:

GVariables := TDictionary<string, string>.Create(TIStringComparer.Ordinal);
// the macro should replace it, but ...

However, it seems the macro can't replace the original
"TIStringComparer.Ordinal" to my
"TEqualityComparer<string>.Construct(EqualityComparison,
ExtendedHasher)" definition.

So, is macro indicated to solve this kind of problem?
