Hi Przemek,
The ides of hb_itemGetPtrGC() is to _NOT_ make such things and return
_ONLY_ pointers which are exactly the requested type.
... Ok, I can assume so.
return ( HANDLE ) ( ph ? *ph : NULL );
But this assumes that it's always GC.
Perhaps we need an API function .-
BOOL hb_itemIsGC( PHB_ITEM pItem )
{
return (pItem && HB_IS_POINTER( pItem ) && pItem->item.asPointer.collect);
}
... will probably cause GPF or other bad side effects.
IMHO this is always difficult against misuse or indirection of pointers.
Maybe another kind of runtime type identification could help.
I don't know now.
Best regards,
Xavi
