From assembly to high-level language there is a huge step. From high-level language to implicit generic function specializations it is a little step regarding the benefits. In my opinion it makes everything more complicated. My mind refuses to read the description of the new feature. But mostly I am worried because of the statement "has the potential to break existing code". _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
