Clear a TList or a TObjectList

Question

I\'m a bit puzzled of what to use for storing objects in a list. Until now I have used TList and freed each item in a loop. Then I discovered TObjectList

Answer 1

Really watching the TObjectList code in contnrs.pas OwnObjects does nothing. FOwnObjects is a variable declared in the private part of TObjectList that is not used anywhere in the TObjectList code (except just assigning the value), and there is no overridden Clear procedure in it.

So I'm afraid it necessary to free the memory just the same as in TList.
