Re: Memory (de)allocation ...

| Hi,
|        I am developing a script language compiler using Flex (C++
| classes generated) and Bison (%pure-parser directive used), that will
| be running as a multi-threaded server process (in Win32). What should
| I do in order to avoid memory leakage?
| 
|     a) Manually write all deallocation code in every single action;
| 
|     b) Use the following Bison syntax:
|           %destructor { delete $$; } program
|           %destructor { if ( $$.mem ) delete $$.mem; } items rule2
|           %destructor { complexCode( $1 ); delete $$; } xpto_rule
|           ...
| 
|     Option b) should be the correct one, right!? In case of a syntax
| error, the right destructors are always called. Am I correct?! Or am I
| missing something.

You are correct, this is the intention.  But IIRC there is still one
case where we leak.  I can't remember the case though :(
