StrAlloc

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
