Re: [fpc-devel] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Hi all, If type inference is not planned, then do you have an alternative to support linq like expression methods ? If type inference is not used then the syntax is very verbose if not ugly. Also I though that type inference is kind of important for proper lambda support but I might be wrong.

Re: [fpc-devel] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Is this syntax candy for automatically creating multiple functions (completely dedicated code for each type (combination) it is called with) (in fact optimizing for CPU usage), or is a single code sequence generated that takes different branches at certain locations (in fact optimizing for

Sven, fair enough. I'll test out what you've published and if I find anything interesting (strange compiler errors, edge cases, useful scenarios) I'll post replies. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org

[fpc-devel] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods

Hello together! I'm pleased to finally announce the addition of generic functions, procedures and methods (collectively called "routines") to Free Pascal which allows writing type safe methods that can be used for multiple types. Syntax: The syntax for declaring a generic routine is similar
