I've read in the documentation for the default release function
(pointer ..) and (nonnull-pointer ...) types are not performing any
deallocation like you mentioned.<br>
<br>
I'm a little bit curious about (struct ..) type-definitions because
due to the documentation it has probably a more useful default
behaviour for releasing.<br>
<br>
Can i assume if i allocate and use a (struct ...) type that the GC
management system will handle this reference properly? (in contrast
to pointers)<br>
<br>
This would save me a lot of specific cleanup code for all predefined
types if gambit's system is performing delete calls automatically
for structs.<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
<br>
(c-define-type std::string (struct "std::string"))<br>
(define string-new (c-lambda (nonnull-char-string) std::string
"___result_voidstar = new std::string(___arg1);"))<br>
<br>
<br>
Only for clarification for myself i don't create memory leaks.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
