Re: Request TAutoFree for Crossplatform

But it won't work with FPC... due to a diverse implementation...
And is not needed for the NextGen compiler, due to the ARC memory model.

So only for Delphi under Windows?
In such platforms, you should better directly use the main mORMot units, so you have already the TAutoFree at hand!

Re: Request TAutoFree for Crossplatform

Hi AB, i had to think about it.

I use Crossplatform for actually the follwing cases:

FMX - iOS: This is NextGEN - i don't need to free my Objects ?!
FMX - Android: also NextGEN ?
FMX - Windows: here i need it or can use the Windows - Client (I don't like to use the Windows - Client cause i have to program 2 Versions for Server Access) Here i would like to use TAutoFree
FMX - MacOS: NextGEN ?

I like to code every Version in the same way. Actually i Create try ... finally free
So if i put everything i TAutoFree i can modify the Platform specific code there

Re: Request TAutoFree for Crossplatform

You are right.
TAutoFree does make sense for MacOSX and to share code among platforms.
For nextgen it should just do nothing.
Good ideas....
