im not convinced it's the .New() thats causing the supposed leaks. this script declares a bunch of global(but this probably doesnt matter) variables. they have to be stored somewhere, which takes up some bit of space. im not sure whether theres any kind of mechanism built into ahk to prune blanked-o...

If both objects are created and linked inside of a function as local variables, will both objects be released when it exits while still linked together this way? no they wont be, and if u for some reason lose ur only handle to those objects, u will have leaked them. there is more(although not much)...

its something specific to ahk in general(and v2, hopefully, only for the time being) object properties cannot be the target of OutputVar function(command) parameters(fails silently in v1; u get an error in v2) workarounds are: introduce a method that queries the x/y and assigns them to the propertie...

it uses whatever directory was the default one prior to the loop starting. basically it takes a snapshot, it doesnt matter what u set the default to afterwards

its not required. v2 hotkeys are now entirely based on functions instead of labels. a function whose scope ends implicitly returns an empty string. single line hotkeys implicitly return(same as in v1)

Ptr := A_PtrSize ? "UPtr" : "UInt" not needed, replace all ptr types with 'Ptr' declare library functions force- local or declare their variables local , Ptr, StrPtr(sString) this could probably just be 'Str', sString, but i cant check for sure ObjPtr(RC) returns the address of where the AHK object...

C is just a variable name i chose cause i couldnt come up with anything better. u should probably rename it to something more meaningful. it doesnt refer to the class class c {} (in ur code). Where can I find documentation about this? Don*t have even an idea where to search for ... u cant search fo...

u have to parse the string and iterate through the classes until u get to the one u wish to new up #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0-a122-f595abc2 class b { class c {} } cn := "b.c" o4 := newFromString(cn) newFromString(str, Args*) { ClassNames := StrSplit(str, '.') C := %ClassNames.RemoveAt(1)% for name in...

is it possible this, is it possible that. many things are possible. and many are not. depending on the degree of expertise and all. what ure describing is possible. is it possible out of the box? no, ull have to implement the algorithms that make it possible urself. i dont know why u would want to w...

with opencv, first u isolate the red channel(or whichever one gives u the most consistent outline), then u clean it up with some morphological transformations, blurs/sharpens if need be, then u make a cv contour out of it. divide its moments to obtain the centroid(if thats what u meant by "center". ...

but if u do want to throw hardware at ahk in particular, get the one with the highest sustained single core clock count this will net u virtually no gains whatsoever in comparison with improving ur number crunching algorithms or simply rewriting the logic in native code. u should probably just do th...

its not needed, releasing the last reference to a FileObject closes it automatically

FO := is a syntax error though

ive explained the nature of the error already: firing up too many pseudothreads without allowing them to finish. u have a menu action button that clears a flag( condition ) and a MsgBox confirmation button that sets it. the flag is evaluated at the very beginning of each outer while loop iteration( ...

If this directive is unspecified in the script, it will behave as though set to 10 . ur outer while loop doesnt have a terminating condition(the variable i is never touched). when u press the "Start" button and then confirm the MsgBox, the subroutine StartNewCount: is launched in a new pseudothread...

if were talking ahk v1, there are no functions called WinActivate and WinActivateBottom. those are commands. to pass them as arguments to other functions, ull have to write function wrappers for them on ur own, then pass the name of the function wrapper(or a Func() reference) and invoke it as seen i...

if u got scripts u wanna share, just share them. it doesnt matter whether u do it on the forums, github or someplace else(though a git repo is preferable). if theyre good, people are bound to find a use for them

this has already been documented https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/IniRead.htm#Remarks Unicode: IniRead and IniWrite rely on the external functions GetPrivateProfileString and WritePrivateProfileString to read and write values. These functions support Unicode only in UTF-16 files; all other f...

Sometimes I can't pass VarSetCapacity to BufferAlloc, when it is a string. there isnt a VarSetCapacity() in v2(anymore), so ur "sometimes being unable to pass it to BufferAlloc() , when it is a string" is a sentence that makes literally no sense at all. local char := ( a_isunicode ? "W" : "A" ) hav...

i cant be bothered researching this api, but if ur comments are correct, some of ur dllcall definitions arent, eg: ; ImageInfo *CloneImageInfo(const ImageInfo *image_info) DllCall("CORE_RL_MagickCore_.dll\CloneImageInfo", "Ptr") invoking undefined behavior by providing an incorrect number of functio...
