Generic array of records with sorting and such?
« on: June 09, 2023, 03:46:16 pm »
Is there a generic that can be an array of record but with sorting by data?

I tried:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. TMyFiles = specialize TFPGMap<Integer, TMyFileRec>;
but it can only sort by key (Integer) using whatever I hook to OnKeyCompare.

generics.collections can do that
Specialize a type, not a var.

Thank you!

I didn't find anything that would work exactly like I wanted so I made my own.
Usage example:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   TRec = record
  2.     Name: String;
  3.     Surname: String;
  4.   end;
  5.  
  6.   TArr = specialize TSortable<TRec>;
  7.  
  8. ...
  9. function CompareFun(const Data1, Data2: TRec): Integer;
  10. begin
  11.   Result := AnsiCompareStr(Data1.Name, Data2.Name);
  12. end;    
  13.  
  14. var Arr: TArr;
  15.     Rec: TRec;
  16.     i: Integer;
  17.     Idx: Integer;
  18. begin
  19.   Arr := TArr.Create;
  20.  
  21.   Rec.Name := 'John';
  22.   Rec.Surname := 'Kowalski';
  23.  
  24.   Arr.Add(Rec);
  25.  
  26.   Rec.Name := 'Adam';
  27.   Rec.Surname := 'Smith';
  28.  
  29.   Arr.Add(Rec);
  30.  
  31.   Arr.Sort(@CompareFun);
  32.  
  33.   for i:=0 to Arr.Count-1 do
  34.     Memo1.Lines.Add(Arr[i].Name + ' ' + Arr[i].Surname);
  35.  
  36.   Rec.Name := 'Adama';
  37.   Rec.Surname := 'Worcestershire';
  38.  
  39.   Idx := Arr.IndexOf(Rec, @CompareFun);
  40.  
  41.   Memo1.Lines.Add(IntToStr(Idx));
  42.  
  43.   Arr.Free;                                            
  44.  

Code: [Select]
unit Sortable;

Have you tried gmap or gset: https://wiki.freepascal.org/GSet

I don't think I can quickly access n-th element using TSet.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. {$MODE OBJFPC}
  2. {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

  5.

  8. type
  9.   TRec = record
  10.     Name: string;

Well, what's wrong with your eyes? And mine.. :-[
Domasz (and ASerge) have given you pretty good examples.
It is not for me to add more to your confusion.
Take the code by Domasz as a basis.
