To clean up memory leak : Log out or Reboot

[linq936]

Hi,
I am developing software on Windows XP, before the code matures
normally it has many memory leak problem. I notice that the PC run
more and more slower.

I normally do a reboot, but do you think logout and login also do
the trick?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just shutting down the leaky application will free memory under Windows XP.
Kernel handle objects will be released when the OS sees your process has
terminated.
If you are writing a device driver or service, then a re-boot may be needed.
Also try writing better code! If its using .NET then the garbage
collector may just need more time. Etc.

Jeez, try it! It's quick enough to do! And yes, it's likely to do it.
