[NOT Solved] specialize TFPGObjectList<T>

[BrunoK]

This is a bug. The inherited Create is not called, which sets the ItemSize to 8 bytes (TFPSList.Create) and it remains zero. As a result, the built-in FList storage is always nil and any attempts to copy to it are unsuccessful.

I wrote some test program. The different behavior of inherited; and inherited create; seems no to occur for non TFPGObjectList classes that behave as expected.

if it's only generics, especially this one. I would be willing to be it may have something to do with the message I saw in the log window about "Inline Inherited not yet supported"

 Just a hunch. Would be interesting to see the end results.

I don't think Inline Inherited for the constructor will ever come. Apart from what you see in your constructor code, the code generated by the compiler is quite long including a Try Except block.
Big enough be not very useful to inline speed wise, and regarding the inflation of code size.

@BrunaK,
You did not even pay attention, did you, and I am right.

the a part is ai - just to blame something - should have been o, but still, pay attention: writing such code needs a hardcast, because nil is untyped.
