Memory Leaks

Hi forum,

I wonder how people here prefer to handle memory leaks.

Thanks

By using a managed runtime environment equipped with a garbage collector.

Probably not very helpful, but you have asked a rather vague question...

Do you mean in Basic? If so I'd recommend reading this: http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/goto

Is it just me, or is every Basic question I answer just a link to that site...

For a reason

On a ti83plus I prefer saving all my stuff and then do a RAM reset.

Btw, welcome to the forum!

Hey Complete, welcome to the forums.

Im afraid its hard to gauge what you are referring to specifically. Im assuming you mean handling memory leaks in BASIC by avoiding lbl's/goto's or loops without End's etc. Usually people will just structure their code in such a way as to eliminate the possibility of memory leaks.

Do you have any code you are working on that you are looking for leaks in or something?

Ah, ok:
To prevent memory leaks: [points at tr1p1ea's post]
To get rid of a memory leak (when it's to late): A RAM reset is the only thing you can do IIRC

According to some sites, Return seems to solve the problem (but without leaving the program, you'll have to come up with some clever trick to use Return..)

True, and if you used it in a program you can place a end on a variable to whether it is used or not.

How about we just wait to see what he is talking about, instead of making assumptions
