Re: FFI::Platypus: Replace malloc with GC_MALLOC?by syphilis (Archbishop) |

string_reverse(undef); Does that actually free() the memory ? I would be wanting to see proof that the if(output != NULL){} block is being entered: I guess that the $ffi->attach() line might somehow provide the necessary magic. Note: I've just installed FFI::Platypus (Windows 11, perl-5.36.0) - it required some force, and installed a shudderingly disturbing amount of Alien::* (and other) shit. But I couldn't quickly get anywhere with the demo that you supplied. Does that demo comprise 2 separate files ? If so, how are they linked ? I've no experience with GC_MALLOC, and hadn't even heard of it. I'll read, with interest, the thoughts of any who might have used this. In the Inline::C/XS environment, if I want to avoid having to explicitly free/Safefree memory, then I'll create objects blessed into a specific package and have perl automagically free/Safefree the objects as perl sees appropriate. Cheers, Rob
