void Relinquish_Memory (void)

Function Documentation

void Relinquish_Memory ( void   ) 

Returns temporary memory (kept internally by HOOPS) to the system.

DETAILS

HOOPS often retains allocated memory for later use. One way to get HOOPS to relinquish memory is to call Reset_System() . The trouble with Reset_System() is that the HOOPS tree is obliterated. This function allows memory to be freed without destroying the existing HOOPS tree.

NOTES

As a rule, it is moderately expensive to call Relinquish_Memory() . The entire list of allocated memory items is searched to determine what can or cannot be freed.
