I am curious as to how FPC handles the following situations: var MyObj: TsomeObject; begin MyObj := TsomeObject.Create; // do some processing MyObj := NIL; end; Will this create a memory leak or will FPC fnd by reference counting that nothing references the object memory and dispose of it?
It will create a memory leak (as in Delphi).
If the latter, will the disposal call the object's destructor or not? next: var MyObj: TsomeObject; begin MyObj := TsomeObject.Create; // do some processing end; What happens here where the local variable MyObj gets out of scope, again with the reference to object memory disappearing? Memory leak or object destruction?
Memory leak. Class instances that are created must also be destroyed. 100% the same as in Delphi. Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
