Does c++ not “specialize” in one location like FPC? looking at c++ code I often see things like Vector<x> used in multiple locations instead of declaring a single type (I have no idea why they would do that but it’s very common). Maybe that’s why compile times are so slow? C++ specializes once per compilation unit (and per unique type parameters). FPC does this as well, but in addition it will try to reuse a compatible specialization that's located in the interface section of a used unit. Regards, Sven
