As far as the compiler is concerned what’s the difference between clearing an
array using a for-loop vs. FillChar? It seems like iterating the array would be
slower but what does FillChar do exactly and is it faster? The primary concern
here is that the memory originally allocated (using SetLength right?) remains
in the same location.
var
list: array of integer;
SetLength(list, 10);
for i := 0 to high(list) do
list[i] := 0;
FillChar(list[0], Length(list) * sizeof(integer), 0);
