All,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307132616-27042005>I've just downloaded
ScummEx from CVS, and I've found several issues with variable
initialisation, breaking the image display and palette (if not
more).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307132616-27042005>The problem is that
the code relies on the compiler initialising class pointers to NULL, whilst the
M$ approach is to set pointers to 0xCDCDCDCD, which breaks ScummEx in several
places.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307132616-27042005>I'll start changing
my version to initialise pointers in the constructors; is anyone else already
working on this for CVS check-in?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307132616-27042005>On a more
general note, is ScummEx being worked on much to keep it in sync with new
engines added to ScummVM, or to share code?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
