……省略废话若干……
Delphi的泛型在C++中被暴露为模板。然而很重要的一点是它的真正实例化于 Delphi 那边,而不是C++。所以,你只能使用那些 Delphi 代码中已经显式实例化的模板类型。例如,我们声明一个 Delphi 中的简单泛型 TList<T>:
unit DelphiUnit;
interface
uses System.Generics.Collections;
type
MyTList<T> = class(TList<T>)
public
// Anchors constructor/destructor
constructor Create;
destructor Destroy; override;
class procedure Cleanup(var L: MyTList<T>); static;
end;
// DoubleList: instantiates MyTList<double>
DoubleList = class(MyTList<double>)
end;
// StringList: instantiates MyTList<string>
StringList = class(MyTList<string>)
end;
implementation
class procedure MyTList<T>.Cleanup(var L: MyTList<T>);
begin
L.Free;
end;
constructor MyTList<T>.Create;
begin
inherited;
end;
destructor MyTList<T>.Destroy;
begin
inherited;
end;
end.上面的接口在 C++ 中将暴露为:

}如果你的 C++ 代码尝试使用一个没有实例化的 Delphi 泛型,你将在链接时得到错误提示。例如下面的代码尝试使用Delphi 代码中没有明确实例化为 MyTList<AnsiChar> 的 MyTList__1<char> :
void UseListOfChar()
{
MyTList__1<char>* charList = new MyTList__1<char>();
charList->Add('a');
// ...
}当上面的代码编译后,在链接时将报告下面的错误:
[ilink32 Error] Error: Unresolved external 'Delphiunit::MyTList__1<char>::' referenced from CPPUNIT.OBJ [ilink32 Error] Error: Unresolved external '__fastcall Delphiunit::MyTList__1<char>::MyTList__1<char>()' referenced from CPPUNIT.OBJ [ilink32 Error] Error: Unresolved external '__fastcall System::Generics::Collections::TList__1<char>::Add(const const char)' referenced from CPPUNIT.OBJ [ilink32 Error] Error: Unable to perform link
要解决这个问题,在 Delphi 中声明类型 TMyList<AnsiChar>。
