Re: garbage collection

While on the topic, I noticed a large memory leak in the == operator for
lists.  When using the == operator on 2 level lists (e.g.
{{1,2,2,3},{2,3,3,5},{3,4,4,5}}) memory grows very quickly reaching maximum
when breve just exits.  When I substituted the == operator with my own
function that checks each corresponding value, the memory use is constant.

Version:
Breve 1.9b for windows

BTW, thanks for the movie recording in 1.9b - it's a very useful feature and
now I don't need external programs to capture video from the simulations.

Subject: [breve] garbage collection

There must be something wrong with the breve's ability to free memory.
The following code will run all the way up to 100megs of memory usage.

                for i=0, i<200000, i+=1: {
                        a = new Shape.
                        free a.
                }

version:
breve 1.9b, windows
