The garbage collection in JavaScript should take care of that.

=C4mne: [javascript] memory problem


hi guys.
i have a question regarding memory management in javascript. let's say i
have a function:

function f()
{
   var str =3D "12-34-56";
   var ar =3D str.split('-');
}

during execution, at some point, 'ar' will have values '12','34','56',
so
it is an array. did split() call something like ar =3D ...new Array() 
...?
do i have to do anything to deallocate memory (destroy 'ar')? what is
procedure to deallocate javascript objects? custom objects? does a local
variable of any type will be destroyed atomaticaly? thanks in advance.
