Are they based on the C library "maloc" or entirely genuine FPC code?

Hi,
Which of these should I use in new projects? I read somewhere that
GetMem/FreeMem is actually compatibility methods from Turbo Pascal
days, yet I have seen lots of new code that uses it, so I guess it's
still ok to use?
GetMem/FreeMem are lower level than new/dispose. Use New/Dispose as much
as possible.
I have various complex structured types and pointers to those types.
Will New() and Dispose() automatically know what size to allocated and
deallocate, seeing that it doesn't have a Size parameter?
Yes. It initializes/finalizes even automated types what Get/FreeMem
doesn't do.
