Re: When does manually allocated memory get released?

Hi Bryce,

I guess that would depend on _how_ you're allocating the memory, but assuming you're calling %alloc() or the ALLOC opcode, then the memory will be released when the activation group is reclaimed/destroyed.

I'm currently using a pointer based array and manually
allocating/reallocating space for the array. This program runs in a named
activation group. If I don't manually deallocate (maybe due to an
uncaught error), does the memory get release when the AG is destroyed or
when the job ends? I'm guessing its when the AG is destroyed, but I'd
like to make sure.
