TList sorting problem...

Hi,

There seems to be a bug with sorting raw integers in lists.

'
' works with strings
List:TList = CreateList()
List.AddLast("hi")
List.AddLast("i'm")
List.AddLast("ok")
List.Sort()

'
' but not with integers
List:TList = CreateList()
List.AddLast(13)
List.AddLast(10)
List.AddLast(11)
List.Sort()

It seems that the references to integers (and I assume other simple types, ie. float, double, byte etc), are lost during the sorting process.

[edit] Nope, the other types refuse to be converted to an object, so it looks like it only applies to integers.

As you are not using Strict and AddLast expects objects the compiler is interpreting your integers as object handles.

Hi,

I see, but that brings up another interesting thing:

Strict

'
' but not with integers
Local List:TList = CreateList()
Local temp:Int = 12
List.AddLast(temp)
List.AddLast(Object(temp))
List.Sort()

Is it impossible to store integers in a TList then? Not sure why you would do it, but I guess it could be useful in some cases.

TLists are for storing objects only. Strings are in fact objects too.

This works though:

SuperStrict

Local List:TList = New TList
List.AddLast String("13")
List.AddLast String("10")
List.AddLast String("11")
List.Sort

For Local l$=EachIn List
	Print Int(l$)
Next

This seems to crop up regularly. You could also make a TInteger "wrapper" type with a single integer field...

Doc update to make it clear?
