You have sent seven identical mail to this list - it suffices with one. ChucK does have a GC, a reference count, though not fully implemented. If you check the archive of this list, there has been some discussions about that, about a year ago, I think. It has also been discussed other types of GC. A problem with a collecting GC is that it must work with the perfect timing that ChucK has, which syncs every sample time (at about 44 kHz). On 6 Sep 2010, at 21:52, Tambet wrote:
Hi again!
As Chuck lacks garbage collection, it's probably The language, which needs a manual about garbage collection - I mean, a manual about lack of it.
Googling "chuck programming garbage collection" gives these pages: • The Ultimate Top 25 Chuck Norris “The Programmer” Jokes • Chuck Esterbrook: Geek of the Week • Java Programming - Hump Day OT It would be good to know, how much memory things take, how to keep memory from growing full etc. For example - if I close something, will it release memory?
