Hello all!
Can someone please clarify the FrmRemoveObject issue a little? Which OS
versions are known to have a buggy implementation? I would like to
write my own bug-free FrmRemoveObject function, but I don't want to use
it in OS versions with a corrected implementation or
may have changed.
As far as I know, the bug was introduced way back in 3.0 (?), fixed once
in 3.5 and fixed for good (?) in 3.5.3. However, OS 4.0 was introduced
before the 3.5.3 update -- does this mean that OS 4.0 contains a buggy
FrmRemoveObject?
Some background information: I'm working on an application which has a
dynamic UI. Objects are created programmatically and may be removed in
any order. However, the FrmRemoveObject function is unreliable, and may
crash if any object is removed except for the last one. Our studies
indicate that FrmRemoveObject only crashes when the size of the
FormType* block is odd, and our current work-around is to resize the
pointer if necessary before we call FrmRemoveObject. However, pointers
can't always be made larger, and so the MemPtrResize function will at
some point in time fail, and FrmRemoveObject will crash.
