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; TIA, Marc _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
