It's possible to give a default initialization value to a defined type?


No, that is not possible.


Except if your pointer is declared as a member of a class (which is always assigned to nil by default)



But that would not work after the pointer was used and then it's memory freed.
So a better way might be:

Always when declaring pointers do it this way:

var p:  ^sometype = nil;

Then in stead of using the freemem, define your own procedure:

procedure myfreemem(var p: pointer);
begin if p<>nil then begin freemem(p); p:=nil end end;

(I would regard this a Pascal-improvement?)
