For std::vector the address should remain valid as long as the size of the object is not changed. Gcc and possible also VC std:vector never shrink so decreasing the size does not invalid address references into an object. It could be the case the with BCB shrinking an object causes a reallocation. Other objects (including the string class) do not offer such a guarantee. > My plan is to continue looking into this and I may submit a > patch that eliminates the WordEntry intr field and replaces it > with code that retrieves the data more directly.

I may suggest an alternate solution but I need to see your changes first. _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
