that's why I wrote the "first off". generics are for somewhat further down the road. First implementation of the rtti unit would omit/replace the TArray<T> dynamic arrays. (as well as TCustomAttribute and the newer TVirtualMethodInterceptor and Aspect-Oriented-stuff)

first phase for me would be: can I get a set/linked-list of loaded package(s)/module(s) and from there the units in them, and from them the PInfoType data in them. And for that there is a need for what I asked first.

Sven, just out of curiosity: is there a rough ETA for the Delphi compatible generic syntax finalization in trunk?

kind regards,
