so how can this unit be converted to FPC,
as the Memorymanager of FPC seems to differ from delphi...


unit nsMemory;

{$MODE Delphi}

interface

uses
  nsXPCOM;

  NS_MEMORY_CONTRACTID = '@mozilla.org/xpcom/memory-service;1';

function Realloc(ptr: Pointer; size: Integer): Pointer;
function Free(ptr: Pointer): Integer;
function HeapMinimize(aImmediate: Boolean): Longword;
function Clone(Ptr: Pointer; size: Longword): Pointer;
function GetGlobalMemoryService: nsIMemory;

function GlueStartupMemory: Longword;
procedure GlueShutdownMemory;

procedure SetToMemoryManager;

implementation

uses
  nsError, nsInit;

var
  gMemory: nsIMemory;

begin
  gMemory := nil;

end.
