Hi,
I have found a bug with generics. It exists in 2.6.4 but not in 2.7.1 (rev 27862). I searched in bug tracker but can't find a corresponding bug report. Should I report it or consider it's fixed ?
Program :
------------------------------------
program genbug_002;
{$mode objfpc}{$h+}
uses
Classes, SysUtils;
type
{ TAbstractVector }
TAbstractVector = class
end;
{ TGenVector }
generic TGenVector<_TItem_> = class(TAbstractVector) // ERROR
end;
TStringVector = class(specialize TGenVector<String>)
end;
begin
end.
------------------------------------Error message :
