delphi - how to determine if generic list Tlist<t> is initilized or not -

as know when want check if object initialized or not can use isassigned, @ found didn't work generic list tlist. isassigned return true time it's wrong. solution?

an object reference variable of type tlist<t> no different other object reference. use assigned other object reference variable.

note assigned can test initialization of object reference variables have been initialized nil.

for example, class instance members initialized nil before instance's constructor starts execute. object references allocated call new initialized nil. or set default value assignment default().

but object reference variables local variables not initialized nil. in fact not initialized @ all. likewise object reference variables allocated call getmem.

the bottom line treatment of object reference variables of type tlist<t> or indeed other generic class, identical treatment other tobject descendent.
