Delphi in a Nutshell

Name

Addr Function

Syntax

function Addr(var X): Pointer;

Addr(Variable)
Addr(Subroutine)

Description

The Addr function returns the address of a variable or subroutine. The return type is Pointer, that is, an untyped pointer. Even if you use the $T or $TypedAddress compiler directive, Addr always returns an untyped pointer.

The @ operator is similar to the Addr function, but the @ operator can return a typed pointer if you use the $T or $TypedAddress directive.

The Addr function is built into the compiler.
