Kuidas toimub üldfunktsioonide täitmine programmi koodi kompileerimise ajal?

Generics functions during compilation are processed using a mechanism called "monomorphization" or template instantiation. This means the compiler creates specific versions of the function for each type it is used with.

For example, if you have a generic function:

func swapValues<T>(_ a: inout T, _ b: inout T) {
    let temp = a
    a = b
    b = temp
}

And you call it with Int and String, the compiler will generate two versions of the function: one for Int and one for String. This helps avoid runtime costs associated with dynamic typing.
