Re: Best ways to free memory within c++ DLD's

[Jason Hoogland]

Thanks,

Yeh, I tried dmalloc and valgrind.  I found this helpful with dmalloc:
http://www.octave.org/octave-lists/archive/help-octave.2001/msg00880.html

but even clearing all variables at the end using 'clear a* b* c*' etc rather 
than 'clear' as noted, I still could not get a log file to be created, even 
though dmalloc seemed to compile and function ok on an x86_64 machine.

Valgrind worked fine too but gives me a lot of info, and shows that just 
opening and closing octave results in some 'definite' memory loss, and it 
looked like a lot of work to figure out where my scripts might be leaking.  
So quickest way seems to be to try and just release as much of the memory in 
my relatively simple code as possible.
