Carlo84 2 Posted April 15, 2011 From: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/ComRef.htm When you assign an Object variable a different value, the 'pointer' will automatically be released. You can, for instance, force deletion of an Object by assigning it any number or any text value.$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1") ; Object is created $oHTTP = 0 ; Object is deletedBut when i use ObjCreate in my script (in this case "ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1") the memory usage of my script goes up (1k) but it wont go down after releasing the object. is there anyway to get completely rid of this? PS: creating the object again after "releasing" it does not cause memory usage to go up again _SplashProgressImage | _Regionselector | _IsPressed360 | _UserAccountContol_SetLevel | _ListSubFolders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsaltyDS 42 Posted April 16, 2011 There is a DLL call to release working memory from the process, but it isn't worth worrying about. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Carlo84 2 Posted April 16, 2011 There are running multiple instances of my exe doing diffrent things, the diffrence of memory per instance all toghetter makes it worth it as it makes up for a huge diffrence, especially since they are idle most of the time, and run allong a program that requires a high amount of CPU and memory recourses. _SplashProgressImage | _Regionselector | _IsPressed360 | _UserAccountContol_SetLevel | _ListSubFolders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlo84 2 Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the pointer, i think something in here will proof usefull :-) [Edit:] The solution i used: Func _ObjRelease(ByRef $Object) $Object = 0 Local $ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', @AutoItPID) Local $ai_Return = DllCall("psapi.dll", 'int', 'EmptyWorkingSet', 'long', $ai_Handle[0]) DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'int', 'CloseHandle', 'int', $ai_Handle[0]) Return $ai_Return[0] EndFunc ;==>_ObjRelease thanks to this post Edited April 16, 2011 by Djarlo _SplashProgressImage | _Regionselector | _IsPressed360 | _UserAccountContol_SetLevel | _ListSubFolders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
