[fpc-devel] generics

[Vincent Snijders]

Will fpc support generic record declarations like this:

type
   generic TFixedKeyNode<KeySize> = record
     key: array[0..KeySize-1] of char;
     value: dword;
   end;

In other word the type is not parameterized by another type but by an integer used 
to define the upper limit of an array.

I am thinking of trying to use generics to implement the hashtable with fixed size 
keys for the k-nucleotide benchmark:
