Do dynamic arrays declared using ReDim have to be freed? I assume that
if it's an array of dynamically created objects (e.g.
Scripting.Dicti onary), each one of those objects will have to be set
to Nothing in a for loop, but what about the array itself? Or what if
the array is dynamic but it just consists of integers or strings, not
dynamically allocated objects? Does it have to be set to Nothing?
Thanks,
Dave

Depending on the type of object, even that is not necessary since they
will be released when they go out of scope. Of course, it doesn't hurt
to do it. With ADO connections, it's probably a good idea to be explicit
about closing and destroying them. With Dictionary objects, it's
probably overkill.

Arrays are not objects so they cannot be set to nothing. Many years ago
i read somewhere that it was a good idea to use Erase to clear arrays
when done with them, but I have not seen that advice anywhere since.
Again, it can't hurt.

Can someone help me figure out how to pass a dynamic array into a function?
Its been giving me some trouble, and my textbook of course doesnt cover the
issue. Its probably something simple, but its just not popping into my mind
at the moment.
My little snippet of code is below. Basically, the studentID array is
dynamic so it will fit any length of a Student's Name. What I'm trying to

there are sometimes that I use third party libraries, I use some functions
that returns char * or structs, etc. sometimes the memory that is returned
by those libraries, when I try to free this memory whith the function free,
it brokes my application, and sometimes it's ok, why? how do I realize when
I have to free the memory that is allocated by third party libraries and
why sometimes I don't have to free this memory?
Thank you

Hello,
I have a pointer to a main structure which again consists of
structures, enums, char, int, float and again complex structures.
When i free all the contents of the main structure, it takes me a lot
of time (since i have to loop determining the data type and freeing
it). Is there any idea to free all the contents of the structure in
shortest possible time.

Do you have to manually release memory allocated by creating a dynamic
array using ReDim? In other words, if I have the following code:
ReDim Test(1000)
For i = 0 To 1000
Test(i) = "test value " & i
Next
Do have I have set Test = Nothing to prevent a memory leak?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
