A special question to leak

[Zunariel]

I know there are several leak tutorials and I know them all, but here are some more special questions.

• Multiboard - Set the text for GlobalMenu item in column 2, row 4 to Yes!

Is an action like this leakfree? Or do I have to save all the column numbers, row numbers and the text in variables?

no need save it

Multiboard doesn't leak and also rows and columns. You don't have to do any additional saving and don't waste variables too since they are limit too

All unique strings leak. WC3 lacks string garbage collection. Integers cannot leak because they are primitives. Reals also cannot leak because they are primitives of type float.

Ok thank you, so do the strings leak only?

Well it might leak a handle once used for a multiboard item...

function MultiboardSetItemValueBJ takes multiboard mb,integer col,integer row,string val returns nothing
    local integer curRow = 0
    local integer curCol = 0
    local integer numRows = MultiboardGetRowCount(mb)
    local integer numCols = MultiboardGetColumnCount(mb)
    local multiboarditem mbitem = null
    loop
        set curRow = curRow + 1
        exitwhen curRow > numRows
        if (row == 0 or row == curRow) then
            set curCol = 0
            loop
                set curCol = curCol + 1
                exitwhen curCol > numCols
                if (col == 0 or col == curCol) then
                    set mbitem = MultiboardGetItem(mb, curRow - 1, curCol - 1)
                    call MultiboardSetItemValue(mbitem, val)
                    call MultiboardReleaseItem(mbitem)
                endif
            endloop
        endif
    endloop
endfunction

This is why people should not use GUI.
