The other day, I compiled a unit I wrote several years ago under FPC and got the following warning:
queues.p(101,37) Warning: use of NEW or DISPOSE for untyped pointers is meaningless
The same unit compiles under GPC (20070904) without warnings. My question is: does GPC properly deallocate memory in such a case
Yes, it does.
More precisely, by default it uses libc's free() function which knows about the allocated size. So unless you override memory allocation functions, you should be safe.
