"clear" is not very clear to me ;-)
IMO SetLength(array,0) is clearing too.
The function you want should be called "Fill".
For example a function
Array.Fill(DefaultValue);
But what happens to a multi-dimensional (dynamic) array?
For example, how to handle this case:
Type MyType = record
A : Integer;
B : array of char;
C : array of Float;
end; // of record
ArrayA = array of MyType;
ArrayB = array of ArrayA.
What would be the DefaultValue for
ArrayB.Fill(DefaultValue);
?
I don't see how this can be achieved in a solid and easy to unterstand
Array.Fill routine....
