[ft-devel] Fwd: Re: Freetype 2.5 crash on windows 64 bit executable

[Yuliana Zigangirova]

Hi,
I would do it gladly,  but I do not fully understand,
how to do it correctly (because I do not understand
why it should help).  Should I do a copy of a buffer
before each call of  "ft_setjmp" and  "ft_longjmp" ?

I have tried another workaround
(http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=114841)

 -  have padded  "struct  FT_ValidatorRec_"  with 8 byte paddding,
this works for my code, but generally  this is probably not the only
structure
that should be padded?

Thank you,
Yuliana
