Finalize

Finalize (clean up) memory block using RTTI

Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 97

procedure Finalize(

  var T: TAnyType;

  ACount: SizeInt = 1

);

Description

Finalize is a compiler intrinsic: it cleans up (finalizes) a memory area T for any kind of managed variable. Finalizing means decreasing reference counts where necessary and generally zeroing out the memory area. It performs the opposite operation of initialize.

The optional ACount parameter can be used to finalize an array of values.

For examples, see initialize.
