Generics and .NET

May 30th, 2008 by kerrysoft and tagged , ,



Microsoft research has a CLI implementation with generics support… At several conferences we have in public avered that generics will be added to some next version of.NET. With those two pieces of data, I nonplus the question – how wide spread should generics be utilized? Was ATL goodness, or something removed a bit too far?

For those of you unfamiliar with generics, they are essentially C++ templates implemented at the runtime level. I’m not a compiler wonk, so I have to collocate with my most canonical understanding – fundamentally the CLR would do dynamical class generation at runtime, thuse keeping code bloat, but contributing you the performance benefit of powerfully typewritten classes. In addition, since the runtime keeps the identity of the class being a generic, features like reflection really process right.
