Thanks for the explanation.
Delphi introduced weak variable ...
Continuing their abusing of well defined keyword from other languages.
In C weak means
- for externals: if the linker does not find the reference it writes a
NULL instzead of aborting the link process with an error message.
- for globals: if the linker finds another global of this name it does
not use the weak ones. It aborts when it finds duplicates that are both
non-weak.
not similar at all :-(
