Is it impossible to extend a generic class?
I tried to extend a generic class "TFPGMap" in fpl unit.
its original definition is:
generic TFPGMap<TKey, TData> = class(TFPSMap)
I want to extend it by:
generic TMyMap<TKey, TData>=class(TFPGMap )
end;
I got this error: Generics without specialization cannot be used as a
type for a variable
Then I tried:
generic TMyMap<TKey, TData>=class(generic TFPGMap<TKey, TData> )
end;
but I got Error: Identifier not found "generic"
I know it was not possible in the past. Just want to know whether it is
still not possible in fpc 2.6.4.
Thanks.
Dennis
