[fpc-devel] Generics are still broken

[Anthony Walter]

Thanks Sven. Overall generics in Fpc are very much improved. So good
work! Your work is much appreciated!

I also experienced some different problems with classes which implement
generic interfaces where the compiler thinks that method aren't implement.

On my blog I have a page where I describe multicast events through delegates
source: http://www.codebot.org/delphi/?doc=9568

TDelegateImpl<T> = class(TInterfacedObject, IDelegate<T>)

Fpc gives me some problems with the class above specifically. All the
sources are on that page and they currently work with Delphi. I can
probably boil the problem into a smaller test case.

If you want some help let me know what I can do.
