[fpc-pascal] How to inline CompareFunc to Sort method in generic abstract class

[Vojtěch Čihák via fpc-pascal]

Hi,
 
I wrote a generic abstract class - a list based on dynamic array (i.e. array of 
T;) and this class can be specialized elsewhere with any type (records or 
classes).
Part of the class is sorting. There are more ways how to deliver *compare 
function* to sorting method. I can pass it as a parameter or I can define it 
as: function Compare(A, B: T): Integer; virtual; abstract;. But this way the 
function cannot be inlined.
 
Question: Is there a way how to *inline* compare function to sorting method in 
this general purpose generic abstract class?
 
Thanks.
 
PS: The gain is 6-7%.
