It’s common to clean up objects in a function body after the function exits and calling a method would be a nice way to handle this. I think c++ has such a feature but I never heard of it in Pascal.
It's a difficult topic, cause in Object Pascal class instances are always on the heap while in C++ they might be on the stack as well. Thus a C++ compiler will insert calls to the destructor of such an object if it goes out of scope. In Object Pascal currently only reference counted interfaces and (new in trunk) records with management operators provide this feature. Regards, Sven
