RE: [Pnet-developers] Adding a free() like method to Object Class ?

[Thong Nguyen]

Hi there Thibault,

The default 'GC' (support/def_gc.c) maintains its own simple heap and has no
support for freeing (or collecting).  You could implement your own GC (see
def_gc.c for an example of a simple one) that uses malloc to allocate an
object.  Then freeing would be as simple as using Marshal.FreeHGlobal() as
the PNET implementation calls free() in FreeHGlobal.

Regards,
