Better use the compiler intrinsic GetTypeKind. {$mode objfpc} uses typinfo; generic procedure Add<T>; begin if GetTypeKind(T) = tkInteger then WriteLn('an integer'); if GetTypeKind(T) = tkString then WriteLn('a string'); end;That's great but if the type is something like a TRec (custom record) or a class, it won't be possible to check the types AFAICT because those are special built in type kind values for common basic types?
You will then get tkRecord or tkClass or tkObject. Of course this does not tell you which record/class/object. Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
