marklio - Great info on generics in the runtime.

Tuesday, October 07, 2003

Check it out (if you interested in that sort of thing). For those who don't know if they're interested, generics are like templates in C++, allowing you to define classes, methods, etc. in terms of a generic type rather than a specific type. This article goes over the advantages of CLR generics as opposed to C++ templates or the proposed generics specification for Java.

hey Mark, this has nothing to do with generics in the runtime, but I'm making my GIMP debut with a new website. Check it out... http://www.geocities.com/cpmsbandpics/ hehehe... a free site, I know, but it's The GIMP 100%! I'm pretty tired tonite... started from scratch and got pretty frustrated with the fonts on The GIMP, but that's besides the point. My point is: THANK YOU for hooking us up with The GIMP action! You ROCK!

I read and enjoyed these articles on generics. I've never used C++ templates, but I've often wished that I could pass a type as a parameter.

Yeah, I think you'll find generics much more powerful than passing a Type as a parameter. One of the things I'm looking forward to the most is generic collections. I write tons of strongly-typed collections (as you know), and generics will eliminate that very redundant code. As well as increase performance because value types will not be boxed in a generics situation because the JIT compiler knows it's a value type.
