Says the C programmer and creates the next buffer overflow failure. You _do_ know that pointer errors make for most of the scurity problems of software overall, relegating any other errors to distant follow-up places? > pointer (in fact in Object Pascal it's possible to hide the fact that it > is a pointer, by simply using the same "." notation instead of "^".) No, this is _not_ true in general. This is a _special_ handling feature of the compiler to _hide_ the fact that some language objects are implemented using pointers, mostly "objects" (class type variables), dynamic arrays and strings. And there's much more to the compiler's knowledge about these objects, as it has to silently introduce dereferencing operations in many places to keep the illusion intact that these are "normal" variables. And, you _cannot_ use this notation yourself for your self-declared pointer variables. It only works where so designed. -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
