DEC = decrement there is also an _CLDELETE_ARRAY, _CLDELETE_LARRAY, _CLDELETE_CARRAY...
these uses free (and should be matched for anything that is created using _CL_NEWARRAY). Actually in the trunk it is the same rule, but used delete[] because _CL_NEWARRAY used new [X]. Turns out calloc/free is more efficient, i heard. _CLDELETE_CARRAY is for char array - unless you are developing on msvc 6, then it is the equivalent of _CLDELETE_ARRAY _CLDELETE_LARRAY is the same as _CLDELETE_ARRAY but doesn't null the pointer The reason this is so complicated is for cross platform compatibility. Old versions of microsoft visual studio was very sensitive, where as now it is not sensitive at all, but linux still requires you to match calloc/free and new/delete... If you are developing on pure visualstudio 7+ then it really doesn't matter what you use. If you are developing on gcc, then you only have to watch out to match new/delete (_CLDELETE) and calloc/free (with _ARRAY suffix)... ben 2009/9/30 Itamar Syn-Hershko <ita...@divrei-tora.com>: > Looking them up in the CLucene code itself will reveal the difference. > > Generally _CLDECDELETE is "declaring" a delete on objects which are being > refcounted internally (Term for instance). _CLDELETE and _CLLDELETE will > delete non-refcounted types (equivalent to delete), where the former sets > the var to NULL while the other doesn't. > > Itamar. > ________________________________ > From: Michel Nadeau [mailto:aka...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 4:46 PM > To: clucene-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [CLucene-dev] _CLDELETE vs _CLDECDELETE vs _CLLDELETE > > Hi ! > > I'm in the process of migrating my 0.9.21 code to the 2.3.2 branch and I > noticed in the test suite that there's now many "delete" functions: > > * _CLDELETE > * _CLLDELETE > * _CLDECDELETE > > I have 2 questions: > > * Is there other "delete" functions than these 3? > * When should we each of these functions? > > Thanks! > > - Mike > aka...@gmail.com > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Come build with us!
