Hello list! Are dynamic arrays initialized with nil after the setlength call? Doc[1] doesn't say a word about that and my tests say yes, they are initialized with nil. What is the supported behavior?

Are dynamic arrays initialized with nil after the setlength

call?

From https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/blob/master/rtl/inc/dynarr.inc:

You can see that the storage is allocated with GetMem and initialized with FillChar 0. So if the base element is pointer, the contents are initialized with nil.
