Just to clarify: if i have a record type with a pointer field, this field
will always zeroed?
e.g
type
TMyRecord = record
private
FMyPointer: Pointer;
public
property MyPointer: Pointer read FMyPointer;
end;
......
procedure ShowMyPointerValue;
var
MyRecord: TMyRecord;
begin
writeln('My pointer value: ' + IntToStr(Integer(MyRecord.MyPointer)));
end;
end.
is correct to say that the above code will always print 'My pointer value:
0'?
Regards
