Forgot about this option from focusing so hard on doing it the
other way. I gave this way a try and it worked except for a
problem with AllocPooled. From my calling function I have
array = MakeArray();
...do stuff with array
FreePooled (mempool, array, sizeof (mystruct * arraysize));
This line causes a poolwatch hit which says the size being
freed (4, sizeof (array) isn't what was allocated (sizeof (
mystruct * arraysize). If I remove this line and let DeletePool
handle it the program runs without hits. If I replace the
AllocPooled with AllocVec and then use FreeVec it works
fine. Any idea why this is happening?
