Well, this is a system I wrote mainly for GUI users.
It is not very useful for JASS, but it makes coding in GUI so much easier.
And when you make maps, you dan't do everything in JASS.
You shold write the systems in vJass, but not everything.
This is a tool that automatically detects and kills memory leaks caused by these handle types:
Unitgroup, Effect, Location
which are mainly used in GUI.
How does it work?
Using native hooking it responses to any function that uses groups, effects or locations (in Jass you don't need locations, don't use the BJ functions for effects and never destroy groups) and registers them. After a few seconds they get destroyed.
I could also make it work with Jass, but that would be senseless, because you don't want your groups in JASS to be destroyed automatically. Actually that would break many systems.
And when you don't want the data to be destroyed, you can simply call
ProtectHandle or ProtectVariable on them.
That will prevent the system catching the data that the variables are filled with.
So this catches only BJ functions!
It will not break JASS Systems!
It will just remove memory leaks the user didn't destroy on his own.
