memory management in ocf-files

[Jose]

Hello.

I am writing my first oct-file (switching from mex as I have read 
somewhere that it is faster), and I have some doubts about memory 
management.

The whole application that I am working with is somehow complex, with 
threads, sockets and handling real time data gathered from some remote 
sensors. In essence the application is started from octave, and the 
receiving threads run in the background storing data in buffers while 
octave is doing some computations. When octave is ready to process some 
data, it gets the data from the buffers and does some calculations 
again. And the loop continues.

So, as measurements arrive, the receiving threads will create new octave 
structures and matrices that are stored in the buffers waiting to be 
passed to octave through an oct-file. I am concerned about what happens 
with all that memory once that the data has been passed to octave and 
used. Does octave delete those objects automatically or should I do 
something to free the memory?
