Record data types in Delphi represent a mixed set of elements. Each element is called a field; the declaration of a record type specifies a name and type for each field.

Records in Turbo Delphi (Delphi 2006) are even more powerful! How about having a record constructor where you can initialize record field values? How about having properties in records? Cool, ha :)

Hi Zarko, do “instances” of the new record types are created on the heap like a class and get freed by the compiler or they live on the stack in the same manner as a variable? I think the latter should be the case for compatibility but then I wonder where “methods” reside.
Any comments anyone?
Records are allocated on the stack unless they are declared globally or explicitly allocated using the New and Dispose functions.
Methods do not reside in records. They are simply syntactically associated with records.
