Hi all,

   Currently, FPC allows declaring objects as
var
   MyMap: specialize TFPGMap<AnsiString, MyData>;

This is very nice feature since I do not need define every Map/List/etc as a  separate type.

But to create MyMap object, one has to write something like:
   MyMap := (specialize TFPGMap<AnsiString, MyData>).Create()

Wondering if there is any shorter way to handle the objects' initialization, .e.g., something like
  MyMap := auto.Create;

Thanks,
Amir

Just declare a type for the specialization:

=== code begin ===

type
  TMyDataMap = specialize TFPGMap<AnsiString, MyData>;
var
  MyData: TMyDataMap;
begin
  MyData := TMyDataMap.Create;
end.

=== code end ===

Sven

The obvious (and correct answer) but, this is exactly what OP tries to avoid (if I understand OP correctly).

But the OP can't avoid it, simple as that.
