Freeing an Object with multiple References on it

OK, but this is a general Pascal topic so doesn't assume availability of the LCL etc.

TComponent is defined in Classes unit, so it is plain vanilla fpc, not LCL.

In that case somebody needs to fix that it's not listed in https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/index-8.html

I believe the point was that the "index" is incomplete. It has no properties, methods, or events for any of the classes. It is the Same for every Package or Unit index file in HTML format.

I'd use the CHMs... their indices are complete.

Yet it's titled "Index of all identifiers in package 'rtl'", so should be a good starting point for a "what might do this" search (in the past I've tried to generate a permuted index- and failed dismally).

The most charitable thing I can say is that it's comprehensively incomplete :-)

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,59063.msg440389.html#msg440389 refers to a helper which is similarly unindexed.

TComponent is in "Index of all identifiers in package 'rtl'", from where I jumped to its specific  page
