hi how do u free memory ??
i now use freememory() but what is abut other memori i did not allocatet?
i see a program that it free memory how is tht done??!

Any memory you did not specifically allocate should be handled by PureBasic. So you shouldn't need to worry about it.

However if the allocation was done outside of PureBasic (API call or dll or lib) then that method should also offer a release method.

Is that what you're looking for?

no i wantet to free memory like those proggies that u put "i wanna free 64mb" and u click "free"

[Dare2]

lol, I was way off track! Sorry.

Actually, I think there is a thread/discussion here somewhere on memory optimisers or whatever they're called.

i will look!
optimizer that culd be

[doodlemunch]

Well... Here you go:

Allocate a lot of memory, free it, allocate it again.

HOW to allocate that amount of memory and really not just allocate but also use it..;

Code: Select all

test.s=Space(999999999)

Fire that off, wait some seconds (just a few), stop the program, start again wait eg 5 seconds, stop. Then see how much free mem you got
