i.e. Fenix code: Process SpaceShip( int x, int y, int angle, int maxspeed, int maxturnspeed) Public // Declare public variables here Private // Declare private variables here int speed; Begin // Start the main processcode graph = new_map(20,20,8); map_clear(0,graph,rgb(0,255,255)); Loop speed+=key(_up)*(speed<maxspeed)-key(_down)*(speed>-maxspeed); angle+=(key(_left)-key(_right))*maxturnspeed; advance(speed); frame; End OnExit // Start the exit code unload_map(0,graph); End // End the main processcode In this example there is OnExit code that frees memory of the graph. But since the process dies, the pointer to the process is gone, so I assumed that allocated memory for Spaceship.graph is free as well. Why would ANYONE need the memory if the process is killed? PS: I can't use "code=bennu" only "code=fenix" in BB code. Bennu totally messes up the layout of the entire website. (firefox) ____________ Kwakkel |

The allocated memory for the local variable int graph is freed. The graph is not automatically unloaded because Fenix/Bennu do not have a garbage collector for graphs. This would be insane to implement in Fenix/Bennu, because memory altering functions like memcopy would screw with that. Fenix/Bennu do not support objects and are rather C-like.

Ok, thanks for the info. I think I'll keep 'm in a struct. PS: I added WaveID and unload_wav(); in the wiki. [Edited on October 21, 2010 by Dennis] ____________ Kwakkel |
