My last question for this issue: is the TSelfType a 2.6.2 workaround, or it is required even in 2.7.1? I mean, how about this: > > === code === > type > generic TTree = class > protected > procedure DoClone(aNode: TTree); virtual; //<<-- instead of TSelfType > end; > TIntTree = class(specialize TTree<Integer) > protected > procedure DoClone(aNode: TTree); override; //<<-- instead of TSelfType > end; > === end code === > > In another word, use "TTree" to represent any of its specialization and their descendants. Is it possible in 2.7.1 or later?
You don't require "TSelfType" in 2.7.1, but the correct one is not "TTree", but "specialize TTree<Integer>". If "TTree" should work then that's a bug... Regards, Sven
