    Allocate a null-terminated string on the heap.

    Declaration

    Source position: syspchh.inc line 42

    function StrAlloc(Size: Cardinal) : PAnsiChar;

    Description

    StrAlloc reserves memory on the heap for a string with length Len, terminating #0 included, and returns a pointer to it.

    Additionally, StrAlloc allocates 4 extra bytes to store the size of the allocated memory. Therefore this function is NOT compatible with the StrAlloc function of the Strings unit.

    For an example, see StrBufSize.

    Errors

    None.
