I've started working with FPC again after a VERY long hiatus (like
15+
years!) and the application I'm working on uses TObjectCollection
from
the Generics.Collection unit.
When compiling I get the following warnings from
generics.dictionaries
and I was wondering why that is happening - I'd have thought that
"base"
units would always compile cleanly. I know I can filter them out in
Lazarus, but I would rather not if it can be avoided on the
assumption
that warnings are warnings for a *reason*. :)
The assumption that base units compile cleanly is not true. Normally
you don't notice it however cause they're pre-compiled. Exceptions are
inlined routines and generic specializations cause they're both
processed inside the unit they're used in.
I don't understand why they're being compiled all the time - is this a
Lazarus thing? AFAIK, the only time an RTL unit should *ever* be
recompiled is if the source changes.
The filters (Lazarus 4.8) don't work well as filtering for "...never
used" in generics.collections.pas never works; they're always displayed.
There isn't really something you can do and in this case they aren't
problematic either. In the development version these messages have
been reduced.
They're problematic for *me* by spamming the Messages window with junk I
don't need to see which makes the things I NEED to see difficult to find.
