...optional IDs for AllocateMemory(), etc.

[Froggerprogger]

I think I already have read this wish to make the ID for AllocateMemory(), OpenWindow(), etc. optional to work only with the pointer, but I didn't find a topic for it.
This would REALLY be useful especially for shared procedures. So procedures here in the forum or in your own program could easily copied&pasted and would just work, especially when you want to allocate lots of different memoryblocks inside them.
It's very unconvenient to handle the IDs when not needed.
At the moment I use GlobalAlloc_() but that is Windows only.

If this is not possible to implement, perhaps a function such as NextFreeMemoryID(), NextFreeOpenWindowID(), NextFreeFileID(), etc. was.
It should return the next available not-already-used ID.
Of course this might cause the conflict that then the program tries to use this ID explizit somewhere in the following, but it's not as bad as before.

Is this planned for a future version ? Pleeeeaaassee ?

EDIT:
Perhaps use a constant named #PB_UNHANDLED with value -1 for these functions ?

Please stop it now!

The new system is already working but needs some more testing...
...so you dont get it today.

People are requesting this *every day*, its annoying - its enough!

As Fred said many many times, it will come... please be patience.
