I’m getting E703 errors in Island-Windows. The problem is that even in Diagnostics mode, there is no info about which method or type is causing the problem.

         -> Phase Expanding Generics started.

E: Virtual generic methods not supported on Island

This code reproduces the problem:
TFail = class
public
constructor;virtual;empty;
class method FailingClassMethod<T>;empty;
end;

My problem is not that it doesn’t compile. Is the effort required to find out why it didn’t due to the lack of information in that error :sweat_smile:

Agreed. this should have a location.
