Allocate memory on the heap for a new instance
Source position: objpash.inc line 197
public class function TObject.newinstance: TObject; virtual; |
NewInstance allocates memory on the heap for a new instance of the current class. If the memory was allocated, the class will be initialized by a call to InitInstance. The function returns the newly initialized instance.
This method can be overridden to implement e.g. object pooling. Note that the method is responsible for correctly initializing the object, i.e. zeroing out the new instance.
If not enough memory is available, a Nil pointer may be returned, or an exception may be raised.
