Summary

Returns the reference count of the supplied string.

Pascal

 function StrRefCount(const S: string): SizeInt;
function StrRefCount(const S: AnsiString): Longint;

Parameters

Parameters	Description
const S: string	String for which to determine the reference count.

Return Value

The reference count of the string or -1 if the string ultimately points to a string constant.

Description

StrRefCount returns the reference count of the string. Note that this function will always return -1 for string literals, string constants and string variables that are assigned to string constants, but haven't been modified yet. This is not a bug but a result of the way in which Delphi manages string constants.
