DLLStructDelete

[AllSystemGo]

I recently found that script to be able to get a MAC address of a specified computer

Local $MAC,$MACSize
Local $i,$s,$r,$iIP
    
;Create the struct
;{
;    char    data[6];
;}MAC
    $MAC        = DllStructCreate("byte[6]")

;Create a pointer to an int
;    int *MACSize;
    $MACSize    = DllStructCreate("int")

;*MACSize = 6;
    DllStructSetData($MACSize, 1, 6)

;call inet_addr($sIP)
    $r = DllCall ("Ws2_32.dll", "int", "inet_addr", "str", $sIP)
    $iIP = $r[0]

;Make the DllCall
    $r = DllCall ("iphlpapi.dll", "int", "SendARP", "int", $iIP, "int", 0, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($MAC), "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($MACSize))

;Format the MAC address into user readble format: 00:00:00:00:00:00
    $s    = ""
    For $i = 0 To 5
        $s = $s & Hex(DllStructGetData($MAC, 1, $i+1), 2)
    Next

;Must free the memory after it is used
    ;DllStructDelete($MAC)
    ;DllStructDelete($MACSize)

;Return the user readble MAC address
    Return $s

The DLLStructDelete doesn't seem to exist anymore. Is there anything else that replace that ??

Thank you. Cheers!!!

From the help file.

To release allocated memory just reset the returned variable to 0.

Thank you Zedna and I'm sorry for that eltorro I didn't see it. I'll look more closely next time.

If a function makes a dll call and returns the result with

Return DllStructGetData($thedata,1)

will the DllStruct memory be deallocated on exit? or should it return like this:

$return = DllStructGetData($thedata,1)
$thedata=0
Return $return

?

If $thedata is Local, it will be freed upon exiting the function, like all other local variables.
