Destroying structures

Atul Dwivedi
Atul Dwivedi over 11 years ago

Hi there,

I came across defstrct and was amazed at the capability it gives. I make many structures and store them in a list and do some sorting etc. ex:

struct1=make_myStrcut(..)

struct2=make_myStrcut(..)

myStructList=('struct1 'struct2..)

In logic everything is working fine and as expected. However, I need to do this task many times, and everytime I am making new structures and storing this in this list, without destroying the previous instances.

myStructList=('newStruct1 'newStruct2..) 

This clogs up the memory (RAM + swap) in the server as the previous 'struct1s are not 'destroyed'. Is there a simple function to clean up these structures.

Note: The no. of structures are many (with considerable data).

I had a quick look in the forum and manual, but could not come up with anything close.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Atul
