How that?
WideString on Windows has no reference counting, thus everytime a
WideString is assigned it needs to be copied.
I'm not so sure of that. AFAIR the field exists, but it's unused or
reserved for shared memory management.
Yes, if you use the set of memory allocators I mentioned the field
*will* be used. COM marshalling.
No com, no count. simple as that. It is unused, because the memory
manager doesn't use it.
com is not implemented, unless you use a com based memory manager. No
com, no reference count.
