Flagged txm_module_object_pointer_get as deprecated (#562)
Added #pragma message compile-time warning to the module library source and updated the DESCRIPTION blocks in both the library and manager implementations. Reason: this wrapper passes UINT_MAX as the name-buffer length to the underlying extended search. The comparison loop can therefore read past the end of a short name buffer, which is undefined behaviour. Callers should use txm_module_object_pointer_get_extended() and supply the actual buffer length. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
