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, or is the DISPOSE request ignored? The offending procedure is: procedure killq(var Queue : QType ); var Item : pointer; begin while(not EmptyQ(Queue)) do begin Dequeue(Queue,Item); if Item<>nil then dispose(Item); end; end; { killq } --------------------------| John L.
