It might be better to do this in an IDE and get it to add the try..finally crap.
EG if I say use the @ symbol to indicate a variable should be auto created and destroyed then I could have :
var st@, st2@ : tstringlist; begin st.add('some text'); st2.add('some more text'); end;
which the IDE would translate behind the scenes to :
var st, st2 : tstringlist; begin st := tstringlist.create; try st2 := tstringlist.create; try st .add('some text'); st2.add('some more text'); finally st2.free; end; finally st.free; end; end;
I do need an IDE anyhow for container based GTK2/Gnome2/Glade apps so maybe I ought to start writing one that implements this.
Why don't you see if you can get this implemented as an add-on in Lazarus ? You get the rest of the IDE for free.
