Hi,
I understand right that (as I have asked before) an empty (ansi)string
is equal to NIL.
If this is correct, is setting a string to '' the same as setting the
string to NIL?
So i can e.g. use exchagably:
{$H+}
var
s: string;
begin
s := 'something';
{ this ... }
s := '';
{ ... works equally to that: }
s := NIL;
And more: is the memory consumed by the string freed using one of the
two methods?
TIA,
Marc
