[JASS] [Ask] Memory Leak control

[DoOs_101]

Hi guys,

In my code I did alot of nullifying with object parameters - however I don't understand why still there's a memory leak in my code. So I have a very simple question.

Do group and location parameters need to be destroyed after code is executed instead of nullifying them?

They need to be destroyed, then nulled.

Eg;

//no leak
local location l = Location(0,0)
call RemoveLocation(l)
set l = null

//leak, very tiny though
local location l = Location(0,0)
call RemoveLocation(l)

//leak, pretty big
local location l = Location(0,0)
set l = null

//leak, big
local location l = Location(0,0)

I see... garr!! I have to put that in all the functions with locs then >.<

thanks

Don't use locs, use coordinates. Problem solved.

Eg;

GetUnitX/GetUnitY versus GetUnitLoc

CreateUnit versus CreateUnitAtLoc

and so on.
