[fpc-devel] types in xlib unit

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

In the xlib.pp unit the following types are defined.  How are you
supposed to work with a record structure that contains nothing?  Does
it the act like a Pointer type?

---------------  [xlib.pp]  ------------------

   PXIM = ^TXIM;
   TXIM = record
     end;

   PXIC = ^TXIC;
   TXIC = record
     end;

-----------------  END ------------------


I've got them redefined a bit, including a few X<whatever> methods so
I could use them more easily.


--------------  [as in fpGUI]  -------------

  TXIC = record
    dummy: Pointer;
  end;
  PXIC = ^TXIC;

  TXIM = record
    dummy: Pointer;
  end;
  PXIM = ^TXIM;

-------------------   END   ------------------


// redefines of Xlib functions
function XmbLookupString(p1: PXIC; ev: PXKeyPressedEvent; str: PChar;
    len: longword; ks: PKeySym; stat: PStatus): longint; cdecl; external;
function Xutf8LookupString(p1: PXIC; ev: PXKeyPressedEvent; str: PChar;
    len: longword; ks: PKeySym; stat: PStatus): longint; cdecl; external;
