But the instance will only be created if you call a constructor using the type.

Yeah you certainly need to assigned it to the variable or obviously that variable will be uninitialized and thus “d.add” will be an error.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Question on TFPGMap
Sorry copy and paste error. d = decode. Corrected below. But I think I
see what you mean. Just assigning a type to decode doesn't initialize
it. But the compiler is happy with it, i.e. it doesn't call as illegal
the statement "decode.create".

This doesn’t make sense. It should be
d := specialize TFPGMap.Create;
Right? What is “decode” and why aren’t you assigning it to anything?

[fpc-pascal] Question on TFPGMap
I have a simple example that gives an access violation on the latest
macos (fpc mode, i.e. no mode switch). What am I missing? Thanks in advance:
program ex;
uses fgl;
var d: specialize TFPGMap;
begin
decode.create;
decode.add('X', 1);
end.
An unhandled exception occurred at $0001023917DE:
EAccessViolation: Access violation
$0001023917DE

It also can make things up though so be careful. For Pascal I was able to get it to implement some data types like hash maps and a “rope” even, which is something I was curious about but not familiar. It was also able to build a simple socket client/server which was nice if you needed a refresher. It’s very impressive I must say and worth real money since it’s saving me real time at work.

That’s disappointing. :( More reason we need an “advanced objects” mode switch.

It would be even more amazing if it could read information from the Internet and was accessible from from some API. Imagine being able to ask it to read all the source code from a git repository and convert it into HTML documentation, as you demonstrated. Or perhaps asking it to translate a large amount of C code from some compressed archive file into Pascal and sending you back the result. Of course imagine the advancements that they could make in 10 more years. I think in 10 years we'll need to redefine "programming". And many other jobs besides...
