Leak fixed

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

I created a .bat file to run a Windows Euphoria program
many times per second in a loop.

The system monitor crept up slowly, showing a small leak.
Virtual memory (system swap space) was getting 
slowly eaten up.

I replaced the call to the (ANSI C !) exit() 
at the end of the interpreter, substituting
ExitProcess(). The leak is now completely gone.

I had assumed that on Windows, WATCOM's exit()
would call ExitProcess(), but apparently it doesn't.
ExitProcess() is the normal way to end a WIN32 process.
It cleans up a bunch of resources, including .dlls.
