Free children of parent too?

Again, you should use the temporary document for insertion to avoid inserting into the live document.

I always include PluginEnd() but it doesn't do anything in my plugins.

The extra memory from SMC() could be internal.  The only thing that you are getting back that has to be freed is that AtomArray.  Something that I have never really checked is to see if any remaining objects in the AtomArray are automatically freed with the array.  Typically, the returned result is simply one object (which were using).  Check the AtomArray count and see if maybe it has other elements (?).

The AtomArray count is always 1.
GePrint("AtomArray Count: " + String::IntToString(mcd.result->GetCount()));

What about the BaseContainer mbc;
Should that be Free()?

I am now thinking of doing the currentstatetoobject different.
Create the objects in getvirtual, but converting them to polygon objects in a different plugin (triggered by a message).

Any hints what this might mean?

Ok, the issue is definitely in "Current State To Object".
I created a test objectdata plugin which creates a parent Null with A cube and a cone as child's.
Normally the parent is a boolean, but for test purposes I change it to a null.

I debug cinema 4d R15 using the debug console and I start the plugin.
Then I quit cinema and the console tells me there is a memory leak.

I was going to reply to the previous post but wanted to see if one of the Maxon Moderators had more insight.  Personally, all of these leaks appear to be internal to Cinema 4D.  I doubt this stuff would be allowed to remain in the release version.

So, when you created your project, did you use the cinema4dsdk project as a template for your own?  I tend to do this even though I have plenty of existing projects based on it at some point.  But it depends on the C4D version.  For instance, for my newest plugin, I started with a fresh cinema4dsdk project since all of my others are for earlier versions.

It may depend on the sub-version you are using as well.  I try to use the latest update since Maxon is continually fixing things.  15.064 is the last version they released for R15.

Hi Robert, 
Thanks for helping me.
I am using r15, because cinema is not backwards compatibele.
It is my experience that r15 compiled plugins run on  16 and 17. Not the other way around.

Also I could not get the debug console working in r17.
But i will try it again and compiled using r17.

This seems to work for me in R13.
Instead of inserting the objects into the current document, and then sending them to a temp document. I inserted them into the temp document right away.

Yes, that solves the memory leak issues!

I am only getting the "standard" R15 memory, but that one is always there. Even if my plugin is not there.

Memory Leaks Detected:
c:\program files\maxon\cinema 4d r15.057\resource\_api\c4d_string.cpp (10) : 2 Memory leaks of 13 bytes (, first leak at 000001DC7E57D9C0)
1 blocks not freed
  
  
*** Potential Memory Leak Detected: See Visual Studio Debug Output for more details ***

I will not put the solution in my full code and see what appends.

Thanks, Pim

Another quick question.

It is ok now, no memory leaks.
Except when I add following code, I get memory leaks again.
What could be the reason for that. GetDown?

// remove null created by csto
if (cstoObj->GetType() == Onull){
    cstoObj = cstoObj->GetDown();  //get child under the Null
        if (! cstoObj)
            GePrint ("No child found under Bool.");
}

Right now cstoObj and it's children is your virtual object that is being generated.
So I don't think you can do this: cstoObj = cstoObj->GetDown();
If you want to grab one of the children of the null object. You'll need to split them apart into individual entities again. By using this:
BaseObject *cone = cstoObj->GetDown();
BaseObject *cube = cstoObj->GetDown()->GetNext();

I don't use ObjectData plugins so I'm not the best at using them. But I think one of the main concepts is that you don't ever change the parent object. You only change the child objects.
C4D needs to be in charge of freeing the virtual object's memory. So in general. If you get memory leaks. It probably means that you're trying to do something against the rules. Or your virtual object got clobbered by your code and C4D does not know how to free it's memory anymore.

I'm not great at these kinds of plugins though.
Perhaps the support guys can offer better information.
