System.TypInfo.SizeOfSet – RAD Studio API Documentation
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/08/11
This seems to have been introduced into Delphi Berlin: [WayBack] System.TypInfo.SizeOfSet – RAD Studio API Documentation. Maybe slightly earlier, but at least it was not documented in XE8 [WayBack] (via [WayBack] Delphi “SizeOfSet”.).
This is a useful function, for instance to get the Cardinality of a set in [WayBack] delphi – How can I get the number of elements of any variable of type set? – Stack Overflow.
From what I can see, the undocumented
TLargestSettype also got introduced in Delphi Berlin.Few hits by Google on [WayBack] Delphi “TLargestSet”, including [WayBack] Free Automated Malware Analysis Service – powered by Falcon Sandbox – Viewing online file analysis results for ‘Coperativa.exe’.
Not much more is documented than this in Tokyo [WayBack]:
System.TypInfo.SizeOfSet

function SizeOfSet(TypeInfo: PTypeInfo): Integer;C++
extern DELPHI_PACKAGE int __fastcall SizeOfSet(PTypeInfo TypeInfo);Properties
