Finalize

Finalize (clean up) memory block using RTTI.

Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 101

procedure Finalize(

  var T: TManagedType;

  ACount: SizeInt = 1

);

Description

Finalize is a compiler intrinsic: it cleans up (finalizes) a memory area belonging to a variable T of a managed type (TManagedType). 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.
