The Generics.Collections should be added to RTL or as a FPC package.
Is there some problem in your implementation that Laz team decided to
add
it as Lazarus package? If so, is it fixable? :-/
current version: https://github.com/dathox/generics.collections
Yes. The biggest problem is that the Generics.Collections is not already
in
RTL. ;) I need this for all my "Sparta packages".
The reason your collection was not added as a package to FPC was that
there
were some compiler bugs at the time. If these bugs are fixed, I see no
reason why the package should not be added to FPC.
Can you remind me the bug ID ? then I will look at it.
The main reason is Collections.Defaults. I'm definitely not a fan of the
manual interface building it does, because I don't want to have to maintain
that, just in case we change some implementation detail in FPC that this
unit happens to rely on, maybe even only in a subtle way. No performance
gain is worth this potential maintenance nightmare. And until I had the
time to thoroughly check the implications that this unit has I won't add
the code to the RTL (just in case: rtl-objpas or rtl-extra, not the
bootstrapping RTL).
Yes, I had a nagging feeling there was something else still...
And please, not in rtl-objpas. New package rtl-generics or fcl-generics.
Michael.
