I used a script creating 3 different type of objects without applying
the "free" method, put it in a loop with 1M cycles and opened it in a
browser. Checking the memory usage of the Apache process while running
the script showed no increase of memory at all. So I would guess the
free() is not needed any more. Test was made with MS 5.6

Hi Armin,
Although I'm not sure if the free call was useful... since it was only
removing the php object from a global list but the object was not really freed
until the end of the script... I would suggest to simply add a such condition
"if ms_version< 6 ... obj->free()" rather than removing them to be compatible
5.6/6.0 and avoid any issue. You can also do a quick test in your script with
some echo of the memory used before the end of the script and see if the
free() removal has any effect.

Hi everybody
in MapServer/MapScript 6 the various class methods "free()" have been
removed. If I want to have PHP/MapScript code compatible with both
MapServer 5.x and 6, the easiest would be to completely remove these
method calls from the code.
My question is just if these free() methods are still somehow required
or recommended for MapServer/MapScript 5.x or if I can silently drop
them without any drawbacks.
Cheers
Armin
