[JASS] take handle leak?

[Legend_Dk]

Its a simple question,

function one takes dialog d returns nothing
//actions
endfunction

function two takes nothing returns nothing
local dialog d = DialogCreate()
endfunction

in functions one does "d" leak
If i clean "d" in function two will it still work in function one and not leak?

Uh...function one won't create a reference leak if that's what you mean (parameters never create reference leaks).

If by clean the leak you mean destroy the dialog, obviously it won't won't anywhere anymore since it will be gone. If, on the other hand, you mean null the local, then yes, as long as the dialog still exists you can operate on it in other functions since nulling handle variables only dereferences them; it doesn't destroy the handle that they point to.

So i just got to null and destroy the dialog in function two, to get rid of "leak"?

yeah if you call one(d) then it will be cleaned if you destroy it
just try it with units then u will see that if you kill the unit from F2 in F1 that it will be removed =D
