Freeing memory from console apps on exit

[SuperHebbe]

Hi

This is my first post here
I my to programming on Windows cause I'm used to Amiga (RIP)
The question is: I have made a program that generates statistics files from hl2dm and the program is in a forever loop.. When I quit the console app, does it free the memory or do I have to call some special stuff to point at my cleanup routine when or something when I quit the program...

Thanks

The memory should be free'd when the program ends.

But the program never ends... Just when you quit it by pressing the X mark or ALT-F4..

Then you'd better make sure you don't have any memory leaks, otherwise your memory usage will keep rising until you run out of memory.

When you quit the program, the program ends.

On modern Windows (from NT generation) you may safety kill (with task manager, for example) your console application, no memory (or what else) resourse leak. Of course, you may have incompleted output (buffered) file(s) contents in that case.
