In the base class, is there a way to check wether Arr[Index] is an object instance or a managed type or a datatype containing a managed type? Now the for loop (I abandoned the use of Move) does something like this: Arr[NewIndex] := Arr[OldIndex]; //do I have to finalize/free Arr[NewIndex] also in this case? Arr[OldIndex] := Default(T); //I understand this is not enough in those cases I could of course add an (empty) method FinalizeOrFreeElement(Elem: T); to the base class and call that inside the loop, but that feels a bit sloppy. -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
