Hello!
I see that sortbase.pp has prepared sorting functionality with context
(=custom parameter) that I need to use. See
TSortingAlgorithm.PtrListSorter_ContextComparer and
QuickSort_PtrList_Context.
But I don't know how to use them within TList because TFPList / TList
doesn't publish any Sort() overloads that use them. Furthermore FList is
private which means I cannot access it in a derived object and I cannot
add this functionality for my own list object.
My question is: how can I sort a TList/TFPList with a custom context
parameter?:
TList = class(TObject,IFPObserved)
// ...
procedure Sort(Compare: TListSortComparer_Context);
end;
If this is not possible (which I think it is not), will a patch be
accepted that adds these methods to TFPList/TList?:
procedure Sort(Compare: TListSortComparer_Context);
procedure Sort(Compare: TListSortComparer_Context;
SortingAlgorithm: PSortingAlgorithm);
Best
Ondrej
