Thanks, that's what I assumed and could not proof.
Is this the case for any occurences of AnsiString, the type name
itself
is a pointer behind the scenes or only in this special case of an
array
(would make less sense)?
In general, and can be nil when empty.
And it's reference counted, so any record containing an ansistring
has initialization rtti (and when declaring a record of this type, or
allocating memory for it using new(), the compiler initialises the
ansistring fields with nil).
