how automatic memory allocation is handled in labview

[haari]

Hi All,

I have one doubt related to labview.

In Labview,we wont allocate/deallocate memory for any variables.That memory allocation is handled internally by labview.

I want to know how labview internally doing that......

Can anybody help me in this regard...........

Thanks,

Harika

Hey,

Just open the LabVIEW help and search for VI Memory usage and you will find a very detailed description.

There are also, for the real die hards, functions in LabVIEW that allow you to force memory deallocation and other functions in "Memory Control"  under the "Application Control" pallette. Do you have a particular concern, suspect a memory leak or something? It was much more of a concern back in the days of small memory in computers, less so in average applications now days.

Hi Harika,

I can't answer that quesion in a single post but I can invite you to explore two Tag sets I have been maintaining.

LabVIEW_Memory is mostly posts by Greg Mckaskle of NI R&D.

LabVIEW_Performance is another collection of threads related to performance where memory play a big role.

Please review ALL  of the threads linked in those tag sets and you should be well on your way to understanding how LV handles memory.

What exactly are you trying to determine? Usually questions like this are posed by someone trying to accomplish something specific, such as interfacing to DLLs.
