It is a bit old school, good code, but I prefer generics for that. Or modern advanced records and the like.
So there are better options than using object. Mind you, the code is good, just a bit old fashioned.
Which is not necessarily bad.
Also the code is probably not very memory efficient.

Specialize a type, not a var.

@suddendeath

Thank you for sharing the code.
It is nicely written.

But may I ask, why you need to put self on:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. constructor tRecordList.Init(recSize: integer);
  2. begin
  3.   SetLength(fList, 0);
  4.   Self.fRecSize := recSize;
  5. end;

Probably that self was just to popup the codetools populated with the current class' properties of methods.

I do that too all the time.

Me too.

It would be nice that something like maybe shift+ctrl+F7 would pop up the evaluate/change inspector on self for in a class methods.

<Ctrl+Space> is normally enough for that, though (of course) it also pops up any global/local in scope, so sometimes one have to type some chars of the name one's looking for. At least that's what I do most of the time ;)
