Hi rooters,

I have a problem with the TMapFile class. In the source code for the Get
method there is a comment saying that :

   // Return pointer to object retrieved from shared memory. The object
must
   // be deleted after use. If delObj is a pointer to a previously
allocated
   // object it will be deleted. Returns 0 in case object with the given
   // name does not exist.

Why is it necessary to delete the object after use ?
I observe a memory leakage if I do not delete the object. Why is this so
? To put the object as argument "delObject" does not help. My problem
is, that I use more than one TTimer object in my code which use the
objects in SM at different times, so that I get a synchronisation
problem if I delete immediately the object that I have retrieved from
Shared Memory.
