DSXchange

Hi
I begin to write parallel routine/functions with my rust c++ knowledge. By looking through this forum, I am still not sure if DS engine is handling memory deallocation. For example, if my function is returning a char*, and the DS engine does not free the memory for that pointer, how can I free from the function itself?

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Obviously, you cannot free it from the function you are returning from. You may be able to work-around it by handling it the way pl/sql procedures work - making your return parameter as input.

I had the same doubt but the gurus have told me to trust ds on this. Had created a string replace function to test it out and could not see any leaks even after muching thru millions of records, so I am pretty much a convert now

Thanks a lot for your reply. I tend to believe the DS engine should free the memory from the function. Your expirement enhances my believing.
Cheers
