The problem actualy is not in automated destructors, but in that the Class types are actually pointers in Delphi OO model. That IS the hack, that makes some tasty stuff impossible (RAII) or unconvinient (programmer has not to forget destructor). Just have a look at "classes" and "pointers to classes" in C . The problem is that we have no similiar functionality for first ones in Pascal. That what i exactly meant in my first post. -- Sergey Kosarevsky [Linderdaum Team] http://linderdaum.gamedot.ru [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
