Hi, folks:

Recently, I reported problems with the component handles en Lazarus under RedHat 6.2: the component appears in one location and their handles into another.
The last CVS version (03/20/2001) appears to be corrected allmost the problems. I suspect the rest of it must be because of �writeln� instructions, that speed off the redisplay.
I will try to compile an entire project, to see more detailes.

The memory leaks were not the direct reason for the slow down.

LCL program became slower with every repaint. The reason was the inefficient resource storage in the gtk-interfaces. This have been improved and there should now be no slow down, even if a LCL program runs several hours and even if a program leaks handles.

The other speed off effect is the general slowness of the LCL along with flickering. I think, the main reason for speed off and flickering components is the missing clipping. We are working on that.

I think, the writelns plays only a minor role. If you see a lot of writelns then you are testing code in development.

Thanks.

It's possible that the messages I see are ASSERTS, but I don't understand completelly what ASSERTS are. Is it the same think that Eiffel's asserts? Another question: Does somebody knows when FreePascal and Lazarus will support interfaces, like Delphi 5.x?

FPC 1.1 (which is the development branch) already supports interfaces but it is less stable than 1.0.4.
