Discussion

The function EwNewObjectIndirect() implements the Chora new operator. EwNewObjectIndirect() allocates memory for a new instance of the specified class aClass and initializes the object properly. For example:

XClass someClass = ... XObject object = EwNewObjectIndirect( someClass, 0 );

The created object will remain in memory as long as the object is in use. Objects, which are not in use anymore are automatically released during the next EwReclaimMemory() invocation.
