How do you design FIFO queue with variable data size?

Question

I\'m just working on the FIFO queue (the simple one, just what\'s pushed first, pops at first) with the variable data size but I\'m not sure with the way I\'m designing it.

Answer 1

I suggest to use the built in TQueue and/or TObjectQueue located in Contnrs.pas. With the lack of Generics one can derive a special TQueue for each datatype used. That would give you type safety inside the rest of your program, while all the casting and pointer related stuff is bundled inside the queue class.
