Suppose you have these definitions:

1
2
3
var
 Options: array of JavaVMOption;
 VM_Args: JavaVMInitArgs;

How do you initialize them?

Back in the days, you would use:

1
2
Options := nil;
FillChar(VM_Args, SizeOf(VM_Args), #0);

These days, you would use:

1
2
Options := Default(JavaVMOption); // fail to compile
VM_Args := Default(JavaVMInitArgs);

However, Default(JavaVMOption) would fail to compile, because you need to use a type of the variable, not the element of an array that declares the type.

So, you'll rewrite Options as

1
Options: TArray<JavaVMOption>;

and then

1
Options := Default(TArray<JavaVMOption>);

You can also use:

1
Initialize(Options);

In addition, you can also do this, by way of passing a parameter:

1
procedure DoSomething(out Options: TArray<JavaVMOption>);
