SNM_DeleteObject() working?

Hey Jeffos and Fingers,
let me first thank you guys for sharing your work with us in the latest beta, i already love the new funcs. My midi-scripts e.g. have been shortened by about 80% and are also running in less than 1 minute, success!! :D

I tested all of the newly added stuff so far but did spot one thing about SNM_DeleteObject() that is yet a bit unclear to me.
If i do this:

for i in range(10000):
fstr=SNM_CreateFastString("sdtgdtgdsfg")
SNM_DeleteObject(fstr)

my mem is constantly increasing by a amount, but in fact independent of the last line.
Not that i'll ever use 10000 instances of fast strings but since i doesnt get a return from the func if the object has been deleted, i thought i let you know.

Using Fingers FNG_FreeMidiTake() after FNG_AllocMidiTake() does make a huge difference btw.
winXP, python 3.2. here

Thanks guys.

PS, it will probably be a bit quite on my side over the next 6 months (studies trouble), so sorry already if i cant contribute with much feedback :/

cheers

DANG! This one stinks. Many thanks for the report Veto!!

Fixed for the next build ( r896 ), SNM_DeleteObject will be replaced with a new func SNM_DeleteFastString

(.. and I hope your "troubles" won't long too much ;-)

cool! thx Jeffos for already looking into it.

not really "troubles", i like to exaggerate a bit from time to time :)
just the usual madness..

Hey, glad it is of some use. You must run FNG_FreeMidiTake() after FNG_AllocMidiTake as you will leak memory and your changes will not be applied to the midi take. I have some wrapper code around using the midi stuff, to make it more safe, but I need to add a few things and append it to the main python module in the build.

Sorry Fingers, i think i caused some misunderstanding due to my english ""skills"".
By '...does make a huge difference...' i meant that running not FNG_FreeMidiTake() after FNG_FreeMidiTake() does significantly increase mem on the contrary to running it, like expected.
So everything's ok with that :)

sry again for the confusion.

But that beeing done automatically without user-interaction (if i understand you right) would be pretty cool too.
Looking forward to it!
thx

hey Jeffos,
just fyi, SNM_DeleteFastString especially and also the recent added stuff seems to do their jobs fine here after a quick test.
thanks muchly!
