Hi,
excuse me for asking dumb questions, but over using objects only for
years I forgot:
If I need to allocate memory for a record type variable, what functions
should get used?
Is the GetMem/FreeMem pair okay or is there something more appropriate?
var
x: PMyRec
begin
GetMem(x, sizeof(x));
would be my best guess atm.
And another related question:
If a record has a String field, how is memory allacation handled?
MyRec = record
a: integer; /* very clear */
b: string; /* not clear, how much bytes are needed? */
end;
I would use:
new(x);
and
dispose(x);
I guess the memory will initialized and finalized for strings correctly
in that case too, but I am not sure;
Vincent.
