[DUG] Dumb Friday Question

[Myles Penlington]

Actually in D2006/D2007 it does not work. You just use FastMM instead -
which has the equivalent options when running in Debug mode.

	Hi All. This is a question that might be infulenced by some
serious lack of sleep :-)

	 

	I have a funtion. Its return result is a TStringlist.

	In my code I create a TStringlist then add my values to it, then
pass this to the RESULT varaible for the function.

	 

	Now,  this is prob. an obvious answer than I prob. do actually
know, but if I got:-

	 

	sResult := TStringList.create;

	sResult.add('blah');

	Result:=sResult;

	 

	Then if I free sResult, then I loss the values I added, and the
result is empty as you would expect.

	But the issue I have is, so if I DONT free sResults, what
happens to it? Surley it stays in memory,a dn I would end up with a
memory leack after repeaditive calls. Is that right? Or is because the
variable is function specific its free by default etc?

	Its a basic question I know....but the more I thought about it
the more uncertain I became....I really need some sleep so that prob.
the real probelm :-)

	 

	Jeremy
