CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Reverse merged revision(s) 4122-4121 from branches/parsnip:

Removed TBaseComparator<T> class and reverted rest of code back to state before this change was made at revision 4121. This is because the implementation of the new TBaseComparator<T>.ConstructRules is very buggy and I can't find a fix.

Reverse merged revision(s) 4123-4122 from branches/parsnip:

Restored TRules<string> constructor in THiliteThemeNameDlg.ConfigForm to state before changes made in revision 4122. This is because of a bug I can't fix that was introduced at revision 4121.

Removed unnecessary interface references from class definitions.

Modified THashSet<string> constructor to use TTextComparator's ConstructRules method to create required rules.

Added new TBaseComparator<T> abstract base class for all comparator objects that must be able to construct a TRules<T> record that uses the comparator to supply the required IComparator<T> and IEqualityComparator<T> instances.

Changed all other comparer classes in unit to derive either directly or indirectly from TBaseComparator<T>.

Added changes to revision 4119 to v5 change-log.

Removed string comparer classes that have been made redundant by TStringComparator and TTextComparator.

Replaced use of TStringEqualityComparer with TStringComparator.

Removed unwanted debug output statement.

Modified EValidation.Assign to permit parameters that are not EValidation instances.

This fixes a bug introduced in parsnip that caused assertion failure in EValidation when parsing malformed entities in REML markup.
