Memory Leak - Get variable's array

[FarAwaY]

Hello I have a question on how to remove a memory leak.

For eg I have 2 variables called ABCGroup and ABCInteger.
ABCGroup has an array so I set it to ABCGroup[ABCInteger]

Now my question is how do I remove the memory leak?
Custom Script : Call DestroyGroup(udg_ABCGroup[ABCInteger])?

Yeah....that should be it.

Actually I think you need to add a udg_ prefix to the ABCInteger...
Optionally you could also use GroupClear() not quite sure what the difference between them is.

Kind Regards

One clears the group, the other destroys it.
Yes, [ljass]call DestroyGroup(udg_ABCGroup[udg_ABCInteger])[/ljass] is correct.

What's the difference on the memory though?
Destroying it destroys the group, clearing it clears it, but what's the difference on the memory?

Kind Regards

ClearGroup removes all the units from the group. DestroyGroup removes the group from memory. With ClearGroup, the group still exists, and still takes memory. The group is still allocated, so I don't think the amount of units in the group makes a difference.

ClearGroup is usually just used for re-using a group in quick succession, or inside a group recycling system (JASS), DestroyGroup is just part of removing leaks.
