Hi all,

From Thomas Heller:

I've been trying some variations on this, but getting errors.
I tried del() on the objects and pointers with no effect.
I have also tried gc.collect(), with no effect.

                    ## init the object to receive the data 
                    retobj = ctypes.c_double * 800
                    retP = ctypes.POINTER(retobj)
                    ## define the instance's return resource type
                    self.peakLoad.peak_load.restype = retP
                                        
                    ## call peak_load and get a pointer to the return    
                    retPointer = self.peakLoad.peak_load(timeDomData1, FFTPeakHistory1)    

If I comment out "retPointer = ..." memory increases at data rate, ~10KB/s, as expected. But
, since this is in a tight loop, when uncommented it grabs 1.1MB/s (~180 loops/s ).

Thanks for your input,
Ray
