Re: [PD-dev] PD memory free on quit

Hi Jamie,

I may be completely wrong about this, but it seems like PD runs the 'free' function for each object class on a canvas if a window is explicitly closed, but not if 'quit' is selected from the file menu (when there are canvases still open).

true, PD just bails out without freeing any resources -- the scheduler just exits. That also has been a problem for me lately, when using named semaphores under OSX, which must be freed otherwise they stay allocated in the OS. Miller, it would be great if we could find a way for PD to cleanly exit. This would also improve finding memory leaks with valgrind.

best greetings, Thomas
