Re: Memory Leaks in RPG

My understanding is the same as Simon's. Memory allocation is scoped to the activation group, so it remains allocated until the activation group ends.

Yep, clear to me now.

Seems to me, however, that some memory types would (or could) be allocated at the program call level ... unless it's specifically scoped to a the AG level. Regular variables, file buffers, etc, certainly wouldn't need to be preserved between program call levels. Dynamically allocated memory, static variables, etc, would need to persist though.

(Unless you dealloc it, of course.)

Which we all do, don't we :)
