[fpc-pascal] Hashmap for integers

[Juha Manninen (gmail)]

Hi

Is there an implementation of a hash map where the keys are integers. It is 
needed when the integers are too big for a lookup array.
I only need check the existence of keys so the data type is not important.
About like this:

var
  Len: integer;
  SeenLen: TIntMap; // or whatever the type is called

  ...

  if not SeenLen.Has(Len) then begin
    ... work with Len ...
    SeenLen[Len] := nil;  // If the data type is pointer
  end;


A related question:
What is the state of the generic containers now?
I want to use FPC 2.4.x features for this program and I will not experiment 
with new development code now, but some time later I will.
Do the generic containers work equally well with primitive types like integer, 
pointer and string, and then with TObject derivatives? I would guess the 
primitive types are a challenge.
