chipmonkboy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hello. I just found this "clear memory" function on the website. I do not understand why the code is written that way. So,can anyone explain the code for me please. Also, if I want to run the code, I only need to type _ReduceMemory() in the autoit code right? Thank you Func _ReduceMemory($i_PID = -1) If $i_PID <> -1 Then Local $ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $i_PID) $ai_Return = DllCall("psapi.dll", 'int', 'EmptyWorkingSet', 'long', $ai_Handle[0]) DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'int', 'CloseHandle', 'int', $ai_Handle[0]) Else $ai_Return = DllCall("psapi.dll", 'int', 'EmptyWorkingSet', 'long', -1) EndIf Return $ai_Return[0] EndFunc ;==>_ReduceMemory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monoscout999 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 there is nothing to explain, the code is a code, it have DllCalls to API funtions that do the all the work, and yes, the only parameter on the function is the PID of the process you want to reduce the memory.. One question, why you need to use this function? what kind of loop are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakillon Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Look at msdn. AutoIt 3.3.14.2 X86 - SciTE 3.6.0 - WIN 8.1 X64 - Other Example Scripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmonkboy Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 I wrote a script that will run 2 times everyday to backup some files. The script will run 24/7. It's a while loop. I am afraid that the memory will get larger after each loop so I use this script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I wrote a script that will run 2 times everyday to backup some files. The script will run 24/7. It's a while loop. I am afraid that the memory will get larger after each loop so I use this script.It's unlikely that more and more memory will get used. I have a script which loops continually. It performs various jobs in response to hotkeys during the day and every night it makes backups of various files. I rarely turn my computer off and it runs continually for months at a time with no hint of any memory problems.

monoscout999 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The memory problem might be for some bad looping code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
