Is it possible that the TypeInfo intrinsic could work with generic template types or is
this a bug? I get "Illegal qualifier" in the procedure below.
generic procedure DoThis<T>(a: array of T);
begin
writeln(TypeInfo(T)^.name);
end;
This would fail with a non-generic as well, because the TypeInfo()
intrinsic returns a plain Pointer. You need to cast it to PTypeInfo (and
obviously the unit TypInfo needs to be used):
PTypeInfo(TypeInfo(T))^.Name
