Memory leak

#1

Hello!

I have some trouble with memory in my game.

When I create new “newGroup” and frees the memory, the garbage collector not frees all memory.

print("Start MemUsage: " .. collectgarbage("count") ) -- Start MemUsage: 406.7294921875 local box = display.newGroup( ) local on for i=1, 100000 do -- add on = display.newGroup( ) box:insert(on) -- remove on:removeSelf( ) on = nil end collectgarbage("collect") collectgarbage() print("End MemUsage: " .. collectgarbage("count") ) -- End MemUsage: 7115.8984375

Get lost 6709

Could you help me?

How can I fix the leak?

P.s.

Without collectgarbage:

-- Start MemUsage: 408.5341796875 -- End MemUsage: 21178.34375

Code seems fine. Remember that garbage collector do not kick in instantly and you created a lot of displaygroups. It may even take few seconds to see memory back to base level. Do not worry about that.
