How do you free a variable

Hi,

We have a memory leak that is caused by the following code:



tmpStr := DLL.New('LPSTR',256);



How do I free up the tmpStr variable?



Thanks!

    Hello Raya,


    Memory allocated to variables is freed up after the test run is over.

    Could you please provide a bit more detail on your memory leak problem? How do you detect a memory leak? Does TestComplete display any error message notifying that it runs out of memory?


    Thank you.

    Thanks Julia! we detected the memory leak by noticing tcHostingProcess.exe's size was growing to 800+K and then the script started to slow then eventually it crashes. When we debugged the script every time it hit the new variable line tcHostingProcess.exe's size incremented.
