Yes, because in fact they don't have the same name. The name of a
generic with a single parameter is essentially "TFoo<>" while that of
a generic with two parameters is "TFoo<,>".
The amount of generic parameters is part of the type or routine name.
Thanks, which just for confirmation brings up a follow up question. (I
haven't used generic function much yet, so maybe I miss something)
function Foo (aParam: Integer): integer;
generic function Foo<T>(aParam: t) : integer;
Those are 2 different function too? (not an overload? because "T" could
be integer in same cases)
Do you then always have to call the generic using
specialize Foo<integer>(1)
?
I seem to remember a discussion about adding automatic specialization?
But then
foo('abc') // would be clear, to specialize with string
but
foo(1) // could be either_______________________________________________
