I have a script that populates a list with AV names, like a visitor detector list. I am using the function llGetFreeMemory() to detect the free heap memory space.
After the number of items on the list reach around X names, I am performing an mylist = []; , but the free memory remains the same. Any tips in how to manage memory allocation space?

Yep, resetting the script is the only way to free up the memory.

If your list is inside a function then when you return from the function it will free the memory This way you dont have to reset your script. |
