No... If you forget to put a variable to receive the function result
(a object created), a memory leak will happen.
The "out" parameter requires a variable.
I am sorry, am I missing the point? The idea is to have a factoruy method
procedure xxx(var SomeFoo: TFooType): Boolean;
so it will return in SomeFoo a newly created object?
As far as I can see that still works very well.
The type *declaration* of the var param and the variable passed in must
match 100%; so what
var
FooToBeCreated: TFooType;
begin
if xxx(FooToBeCreated) then ...;
that should to nice.
FooToBeCreated can be assigtne a value of TFooType, or any descendant of
TFooType; which is exactly what a factory is there fore.
