Re: [chuck-users] variables and memory

Hey Spencer! By the way, ChucK's memory model is similar to Java's in that primitive

types are allocated on the stack, while anything object-y is on the heap. In other words, ints, floats, durs, times, complex's, polars, and empty references won't have any memory cost after their enclosing scope ends.

So that means I made a mistake and the temporary variable in a FOR loop doesn't cause any garbage at all? That's good news! It also means I made a mistake measuring memory usage some time back, I hope nobody was too badly confused by my remarks there; I honestly thought those leaked. Oops! Kas.
