Is it possible to add a key, triggering a resize of the dict, then remove one, and continue iterating through the old (deallocated) memory? You can add and remove keys between calling next which would resize the dictionary; however, it will not iterate through uninitialized memory. The dictiter holds the current index and each time next is called it goes directly to makeys->dkentries[savedindex] or mavalues[savedindex]

Okay, so it's fine then. Cool. Thanks for the info.
