Because there are few certain condition when we need to observe what happened to ansistring/unicodestring variable. In my case now, I need it to learn how reference counting works. For example, using Move() on ref-counted string type is considered danger unless we do it properly, and I need to verify that everythings is correct after such operation.
I need StringRefCount() equivalence only for convenience, instead of writing a special codes/function in my program to achieve this. Well, if Delphi care about this need, why FPC not? :-) ----- Original Message ---- From: dmitry boyarintsev <skalogryz.li...@gmail.com> To: FPC-Pascal users discussions <fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> Sent: Fri, April 30, 2010 3:22:22 PM Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] Is there a StringRefCount() equivalence?
