In fact, this is a good idea. But why don't use [initialization] and [finalization]? The IDE has code-completion so, is better to see a code more readable, don't you think? >> 2.

You've already answered "No, obj2 is a pointer." but what about if the compiler change this by itself, putting a "^" because the variable declaration has one? var obj1: objty; //an instance on stack, needs no create() or destroy() obj2: ^objty; //on heap begin obj1.f1:= 123; obj2:= objty.create(); try // I did not write the '^' but the compiler will use because the declaration in VAR obj2.f1:= 123; finally obj2.destroy(); end; end; Marcos Douglas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ mseide-msegui-talk mailing list mseide-msegui-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
