Hi,
Apply this patch in olecore.c and let me know it solves this issue:
but there is a question if we want to still tolerate code with
C pointer <-> HVM number item conversions and keep workarounds
for it. I'm leaving the decision to Mindaugas.
Usage of numbers instead of pointers is one of the things I want to
eliminate.
I understand this numeric pointers approach (and used myself in the
past), but this make Harbour programmer a little C or ASM programmer.
All mistakes becomes GPF or some mystic errors (later you found, it was
just a memory corruption).
Numeric to pointer conversion does not fit current OLE implementation
after collectible pointers was implemented. Just numbers does not have
counter. Some things start to be different, for example, we do not need
to do AddRef() in Harbour code on cloning object, because our
collectible pointer does the job. So, some existing hacky numeric
pointer code does not fit.
I have an idea to make some compatibility layer. Some kind of:
CLASS TOleAuto FROM HB_OleAuto, implement compatibility :New()
constructor for it, add :hObj for compatibility. But do not know all
FWH, etc code and how hacky it is.
Regards,
Mindaugas
P.S. some messages does not reach newsgroup. I replay to individual
persons too.
