    Out parameter is read before set

    Out parameters are just bad var parameters - just saying.

    Exactly - this one of the biggest gripes I have with Delphi/Pascal - the two separate concerns of allocating memory and initialization are mixed together. This is also what prevents having stack objects. C++ for example does it differently using new to allocate memory which also calls the ctor but they are not mixed - you can also just use an object on the stack or a vector/array of objects without memory indirection.

    Very glad to everyone that brought this in my attention. Did not know all this. Now just have to remember this. -Tee-

    That's why I still think the old object model did it right with explicit memory allocation separate from the constructor: MyInstPtr := new(TSomeObjectType, Init(Parameters, go, here)); vs. MyInst.Init(...); (I hope I remembered the syntax correctly. It has been over a decade that I used this.)
