| what is the difference between this object:Tobject = new Tobject and object = new Tobject is there any difference? if so what? |
| ||
| the second one will fail in strict mode |
| ||
| They'll both fail as 'Object' is a reserved keyword. Anyway, the first creates a TObject and saves the pointer to the instance in the variable. The second creates a new TObject and returns an integer. This integer is used as a x-ref on an internal list holding a link to the TObject. This is the old Blitzbasic method and is, probably, included for transition between BB and Bmax. Integer handles are not GC managed and, I suspect, are slower. |
