Agreed with your analysis. This still feels like a wrong design to me -- spreading complexity all over the place (all the libaries) instead of concenctrating it in a single point (compiler). Still, it seems this is yet another loosing FPC battle for me -- so your suggestion seems the only resort. > >> Note that the only reason TString/TStringList does not break too often is >> that >> the only way to get access to an element is by calling Get, which >> increments refcount > > Not getting this part? Suppose somebody implements "const Result" as I suggested in the link I posted. Then the code like strLst.DelimitedText := strLst[0]; will cause the same problem. Alternatively, suppose somebody adds TStringList.ForEach(AVisit: TVisitString) method, then similar problems will be in the visitor procedure procedure VisitString(const AStr: String); -- Alexander S.
