FreeAndNil procedure
Free object if needed, and set object reference to
Nil.

procedure FreeAndNil(constref obj: TObject)Description
FreeAndNil will free the object in
Obj and will
set the reference in
Obj to
Nil. The reference is set
to
Nil first, so if an exception occurs in the destructor of the
object, the reference will be
Nil anyway.Errors
Exceptions that occur during the destruction of
Obj are not
caught.
