Re[2]: [fpc-devel] Generics Basics
Hello all, I didn't discuss about this idea but now I would say something. Is it really important, to integrate templates support into compiler? Maybe an external preprocessing utility should be better? I think, an integrated complex preprocessor can slow the compiling process very much even if a source code doesn't contain these syntax extensions. Very rapid compiling was always a great pascal advantage over c++. This improvement can kill this advantage. -- Best regards, Pavelmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

I didn't discuss about this idea but now I would say something. Is it really important, to integrate templates support into compiler? Yes. Otherwise they are no templates. Maybe an external preprocessing utility should be better? IMHO this can't be done. E.g. the avoiding of multiple instantiation of the same code using the type system requires this.

An external preprocessor is a nono. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
