Really? Well, that's not what the FPC manual says: -- 8< -- The purpose of an out parameter is to pass values back to the calling routine: The variable is passed by reference. The initial value of the parameter on function entry is discarded, and should not be used. If a variable must be used to pass a value to a function and retrieve data from the function, then a variable parameter must be used. If only a value must be retrieved, a out parameter can be used. -- 8< -- So having the semantic difference between "var" and "out" and thus the differentiation between uninitialized and (pre)initialized parameters is merely a random achievement?
