Here's a copy of the patch i put on this list back in May. It's against svn revision 804. I've been running that version since mid-May.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

<div>Indeed the instances could be reused, but that would imply</div>
<div>using a common mutex amongst the running threads for any</div>
<div>s7 operation (right?).</div>
<div>What I need in my case is truly parallel instances doing their own thing.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I'm glad to hear that Woody has some sort of a solution.</div>
<div>I hope it gets merged at some point, but I also hope for a solution</div>
<div>in the future that frees not most but *all* of s7's memory :)</div>
<div></div>
<div>Any chance I could see this code? By curiosity and to see if I could</div>
<div>slowly get some understanding of the inner workings of s7.</div>

You're right that free(sc) does not free much. Woody Douglass<br>
sent me code to free most of s7's memory -- the main thing<br>
is the heap -- but I haven't tackled merging it into my<br>
version of s7 yet. I think s7 instances can be reused --<br>
just keep all your stuff in a sublet of rootlet, then<br>
set it to #f, but it would be better to actually clean up.<br>
