Re: [fpc-pascal] how to use Default to replace this ' FillChar(aRecord, sizeof(aRecord), 0);

Do you know about this feature: var SomeRec: TSomeRecord = (); This initializes the record without needing fillchar. I assume your "Default()" call initializes the record initially. You can eliminate the default() call by initializing the record as part of your declaration. Some criticize

In this old statement, I don't need to know the type of aRecord but if I want to use Default, I have to know the exact type of the varaible aRecord and pass it to Default(aRecordType) e.g. aRecord := Default(aRecordType) //where var aRecord : aRecordType Is it possible to use default
