Does this not depend on the callback declaration ?<br>
<br>
Type<br>
FuncRef = reference to procedure(a : integer);<br>
<br>
Procedure DoSomething(f : FuncRef);<br>
begin<br>
end;<br>
<br>
Procedure UseSomething;<br>
<br>
begin<br>
For I:=X to SomeLimit do<br>
DoSomething(Whatever)<br>
end;<br>
<br>
Does the declaration of DoSomething (which uses reference to) not <br>
ensure that an interface is created in UseSomething ?</blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes, in your example this is the case, but look at mine again: it's unnecessary to create the capture object here and in theory the compiler could convert it to an ordinary nested function variable. </div><div dir="auto">But that 's all theoretical, because right now such an optimization doesn't exist.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I tried to find your original mail, to look for the answer myself, <br>
