Subject: [fpc-announce] Feature announcement: Type helpers
Hello Free Pascal community!
I'm pleased to announce the addition of type helpers which extend the
existing helper concept with the ability to extend primitive types.
Motivation:
With class and record helpers the possibility was created to extend
classes and records with types without subclassing the type (which
wouldn't be possible with records anyway). This allows to add e.g. methods
to types in units that you can't influence or where you can't influence
with type is instantiated (e.g. the TStrings descendant used in TMemo).
Now it is logical to extend this also to other types supported by Pascal,
but here more driven by the possibility to group methods together and have
them appear to belong to the primitive type.
While this does not bring the concepts of boxing of managed
languages/environments like Java and .NET to Pascal it does nevertheless
look this way.
Syntax:
The declaration of type helpers looks as follows:
TYPENAME = type helper[(BASEHELPER)] for EXTENDEDTYPE
DECLARATIONS
end;
Like class and record helpers they support all visibility sections and you
can define methods, properties and constructors. Inside methods declared
in the helper "Self" will be of the extended type's type and it's value
can also be changed.
Similar to record helpers class methods MUST be declared as static.
Usage:
A type helper is active if it is in scope. This means it must either have
been declared in the same unit before the code which wants to use the
helper or it needs to be declared in a used unit. As with class and type
helpers only one helper for a given type can be active and thus you need
to keep in mind the scoping rules when using helpers (e.g. the current
unit is searched in the order implementation section then interface
section (if the code is in the implementation section) and then the used
units are searched from right to left and each unit from top to bottom).
In some cases the meaning of a type depends on the compiler settings the
helper is compiled with. E.g. the type Integer is either a ShortInt or a
LongInt depending on the current mode (fpc/tp vs. objfpc/delphi) and the
type String is different depending on the switches {$H+/-} and
{$modeswitch unicodestring}. This needs to be kept in mind when working
with these "generic" types. Another special case is the type Extended on
platforms that don't support that type (and thus it will be defined as
Double).
Additionally a type declared as "NewType = type OldType" is considered a
completly independant type as it is the case with e.g. operator overloads
as well.
If a helper for the type is in scope you can simply invoke it's methods or
properties like you'd do on classes or records. Let's suppose we have a
helper with method "ToString: String" for the type LongInt in scope then
it will look like this:
=== example begin ===
var
i: LongInt;
begin
Writeln(i.ToString);
end.
=== example end ===
Additionally to invoking type helpers on variables they can also be used
on constants though special care needs to be taken that the correct type
is used. E.g. the constant "200" will be handled as a "Byte" whereas "20"
will be handled as "SmallInt". Also the type of string constants depends
on the current mode switch (especially {$H+/-} and {$modeswitch
unicodestring}) and also the content of the string. E.g. in case of
"{$mode objfpc}{$H+}" a string containing unicode characters will be
handled as a UnicodeString constant and thus only helpers for
UnicodeString will apply.
For the following example let's assume the helper from the previous
example is in scope again:
=== example begin ===
begin
Writeln($12345678.ToString);
end.
=== example end ===
Additionally addresses (e.g. "@i") (type: Pointer) and the built in
constants "True" (type: Boolean), "False" (type: Boolean) and "Nil" (type:
