SC3 Where to destruct global variables

[JotEmI]

Consider following example where I create a global variable of type TStringList and fill it with couple of name/value pairs:

Code: [Select]

var
sprees: TStringList

begin
sprees:=File.CreateStringList();
sprees.Append('5=is on killing spree');
sprees.Append('8=is on rampage');
end.

Falcon stressed out how important it is to destruct objects by calling Free() procedure. But where do I destruct object declared as a global variable that I intend to use throughout the whole script? Is it automatically destroyed during recompilation?

Was there not a procedure called OnShutDown()? I remember it from somewhere.

I think it was in SC2, in SC3 there is no such event.

In Delphi you could use the finalization part. Not sure if this is implemented in the scriptcore though.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I was negotiating with Falcon about that, and finalization can be used by separate units included, but not the main file itself. A dummy main file only to use a unit works as far as i remember.
