[fpc-pascal]FPC Heap Allocation/Deallocation

[James Mills]

Hi,

Does the Heap manager on FPC release memory that's freed or keeps it
there ? My program loads up flat file databases (obviously bad but...)
which seems to chew up over 127Mb of ram, but it doesn't seem to be
released back to the system after reading...

I heard somewhere that FPC 1.0.6 doesn't release memory once it's been
freed ? If so, will future versions release the memory back to the
system ?

cheers
James
