In this case I am using send and value() also for objects. However my objects serve as global components (in a manner of speaking). I create buttons that are independent threads of execution (using my create thread library I posted). These "threads" (using quotes since RR doesn't really thread) receive task packets via send and value(). My problem is many of my threads handle long math operations for arrays of a significant size (in background of course). I was hoping I could use a array reference in a send to prevent wasting a enormous amount of memory. This also prevents me for having to write a custom thread to handle each operation. Is it possible to pass a pointer to a array of variant using send/value?
Kevin P.S. I have converted my long math operations to using a form of split/combine/delete to pass them in a send/value(). However it still seems to eat memory at a significant rate. -==-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=- Disclaimer: Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental.
