Memory leaks

Tom2012

I'm using

local monitorMem = function() collectgarbage() print( "\nMemUsage: " .. collectgarbage("count") ) end

stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, monitorMem)

To track memory leaks. I'm spawning a box2d sprite, removing it's physics fixture and body, then removing the sprite from the scene. But my memory usage slowly ticks up and up as each sprite is added and removed.

What are some other things that could cause this?

I think I'm removing the timers and event listeners correctly...

Thanks

There was something about that collectgarbage does not free the memory instantly, it takes some time. Or you could call collectgarbage function multiple times to free memory sooner. But without seeing your code, I don't know if this is the case.

local floor = math.floor local monitorMem = function() collectgarbage() collectgarbage() collectgarbage() print("MemUsage: ", floor(collectgarbage("count"))) end

Thanks for the help.

I think I have found the problem - each sprite had a timer attached. Adding timer:stop(); seems to have fixed things.

Thanks again.
