In FreeBASIC, there is no direct way to unload an unused section of code from memory. However, you can free memory used by variables or data. |
|||
Here's an example of how you could do it: |
|||
<syntaxhighlight lang="vbnet">DIM AS INTEGER PTR p |
|||
p = CALLOC(100, SIZEOF(INTEGER)) ' Reserve memory for 100 integers |
|||
'Use memory... |
|||
DEALLOC(p) ' Free the memory |
|||
p = NULL ' Ensures that the pointer does not point to a freed memory location |
|||
</syntaxhighlight> |
