Hmm.. ok i see maybe the name of external function made a confusion. Extern free_ptr(ptr As Pointer) In "libc:6" Exec "free" the name of C function is free() but this name is also a Gambas3 word. so i declare the external function with different name. i choose as name free_ptr(ptr As Pointer), a better name would be free_pointer(pointer As Pointer) or free_a_c_pointer(pointer As Pointer) Here there is no relevance with VarPtr. Ptr is just an abbreviation for Pointer word which we can use in code. -- Regards, Demosthenes Koptsis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
