ObjCreate Memory Leak

[IanN1990]

According to the Helpfile. Setting any Object with a number or string is ment to release it from memory.

#NoTrayIcon

While 1
sleep(250)
Make()
WEnd

Func Make()
Local $o_object = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
$o_object.quit
$o_object = "String"
EndFunc

As you can see by the code above, the Objcreate is called inside a function. The Object itself is set to a string. So the memory should be released.

Yet if you run the script, along side task-manager. You will see every time the function is called the memory for the autoit script goes up.

The problem is still ther with the 3.3.9.19 so I reopen the ticke

Seems to be an IE thing rather than an AutoIt thing. This script has constant memory use and it's doing a lot more COM interaction

While 1
sleep(100)
Make()
WEnd


Func Make()
; Counting the number of open shell windows

Local $oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application") ; Get the Windows Shell Object
Local $oShellWindows = $oShell.windows ; Get the collection of open shell Windows

If IsObj($oShellWindows) Then
    Local $sString = "" ; String for displaying purposes

    For $oWnd In $oShellWindows ; Count all existing shell windows
        $sString &= $oWnd.LocationName & @CRLF
    Next
EndIf

$oShell = "String"
EndFunc
