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?
