Many sites use gif images! Firefox supports PNG, GIF, JPG etc.. all natively. At least my version does (Firefox v3). I just tested this as well. I could view a website and my gmail with uses both gif and png files in the content. Ah, I see your problem: User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 (Windows/20080708) Please upgrade to a working OS - something like Linux. ;-) Actually my wife's computer uses Firefox 2 under Windows, and she as no issues with viewing gif images either.

HTML email (which I hate) or plain text emails... Thunderbird shows png, gif and jpg inline, without issues. In the case of plain text, the images are inline at the end of the email - one image after another. Anyway, we are way off-topic here...

You are right. it does show gif. No idea why it did not when I tested this some time ago... -Michael ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
[fpc-devel] an observation about GetMem
As I was porting things from delphi to fp today I noticed the following difference: Delphi (2,5) : GetMem(p, 0) will set p to nil. FPC (2.2.2, 2.3.1) : GetMem(p, 0) will assign something to p Clearly, the above calls are bad karma (which I have been practicing, apparently). Delphi's help does not say what GetMem should do when the size is 0 (realloc does). On the other hand, assigning something is a bad idea too, as it suggests at least Size(pointer) amount of storage, unless that memory spot is somehow marked as empty, etc. Do you think this should be reported as a feature, or should the definition of GetMem be changed to cover this case. Note that it is desirable to specify explictly what GetMem(p, 0) should do, since one can in principle provide a separate heap manager. Therefore, behavior of use-supplied getmem should be unniform.

Re: [fpc-devel] an observation about GetMem
Well, if it points to something, then there is space, isn't it? Unless it is clearly mentioned in the documentation that GetMem(p,0) results in p being undefined and it is put as a requirement for any custom implementation of a heap manager. Either way would work. Peter On Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:27:35 -0500, Micha Nelissen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Peter Popov wrote: size is 0 (realloc does).
