annotate src/imgstore.h @ 6982:083d1e4a9c78

[gaim-migrate @ 7538] This is Mr. Holland's Opus. And by Mr. Holland I mean Robot101. He rewrote the coreish IM image support so that the binary data gets ripped out in the prpl and put in an imgstore instead of just being passed in the same huge as char string as the actual message. This is good because it's prpl agnostic, or something. It also means we don't have a silly length of "-1" with pretty much every send or receive IM function. It should be crash free, bug free, and memleak free, but additional testing is always a good thing. If you like good stuff then you'll love this patch. But don't take my word for it--ba dun dunt! committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
