In the manual it at https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse38.html it
says "Calling the constructor will provoke a call to the virtual class method
NewInstance, which, in its default implementation, calls GetMem, to allocate
enough space to hold the class instance data, and then zeroes out the memory."
I'm trying this like below but it crashes. Is this correct? The fact
NewInstance returns TObject instead of Pointer doesn't make sense to me and
suggests this isn't correct.
class function TDataObject.NewInstance: TObject;
begin
result := TObject(GetMem(InstanceSize));
end;
