Do regions leak?

[LearningCode]

I so need to make a "LearningCode's questions!" thread
Do regions leak? o.0

Like, [lJASS]local region blah = bj_mapInitialPlayableArea[/lJASS]
Must I null this?

First of all, you want [lJASS]rect[/lJASS]s. Regions in Jass are totally different from GUI regions.

Yes, rects leak. But, [lJASS]bj_mapInitialPlayableArea[/lJASS] is a global rect which is not created or destroyed when you use it. You do not need to destroy rect variables referring to it, nor do you need to null them.

So, rects refering to other "regions" need to be destroyed and nulled?

Yes, Playable map area should NOT be nulled, because I believe if you do this, you can never refer to it again (as far as I know).

The same goes for the All Players player group (although, I'm not sure if player groups leak at all)

Actually rect and region is 2 different things. Regions can have many rects in it, but rects is not make up of regions. Well, it is better to null the locals, this is a good coding practice.

Which explains the thing I saw which was, like, RegionAddRect or something xD
