Trustmaster from PSP project tells me he's been using Ansistrings in DLL without problems. The entire psp.furtopia.org website is running a DLL with ansistrings in it, he says.
He says he compiled it with FPC 1.0 a long time ago.. So the psp.furtopia website has been using ansistrings in DLL for ages now. How can this be? How is it possible a website can run without any problems, using ansistrings? i.e. exporting functions like this: function something(param: ansistring): ansistring; Can it be pure luck that a website is running this long with ansistrings? I guess I'll have to try and get a copy of some of the source code that is running his DLL. I just find it hard to believe that the website has been up that long and hasn't crashed with a memory management issue - the one Jonas and Marc and I talked about earlier - the EXE/DLL freeing memory it didn't allocate, during a reference count decrement. Can it be something in FPC 1.0 compiler that allowed this to happen? I guess I'll have to do more digging. I wish I could put an end to this and just use Pchars in these DLL situations - but there's always some evidence of ansistrings working, somewhere. -- L505 _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
