How to free up geometry memory

[lcrivell]

Hi,
I am using the geomMeshLoader to send geometry to VRay. However I don't know how to free up this memory. If I use delete on the parameters, the Maya render is crashing at 96%. I tried with setCount(0), but this does not seem to free up memory (1.5GB -> 13 GB after 900 frames).
I have tried to add all reservations in the factory, but then the render is crashing at factory.clear().
How to properly free up geometry after each frame ?

Global variables:

DefVectorListParam *my_param_vertices;
DefIntListParam *my_param_faces;
DefVectorListParam *my_param_normals;
DefIntListParam *my_param_normalFaces;
DefIntListParam *my_param_shaders;
DefMapChannelsParam *my_param_uvs;

In the code:

void GeomMeshLoader::preRenderBegin(VR::VRayRenderer *vray)
{
        baseGeomPlugin=newPlugin("GeomStaticMesh");
        <...>
}

void GeomMeshLoader::frameBegin(VR::VRayRenderer *vray)
{
        my_param_vertices=new DefVectorListParam("vertices",1);
        my_param_faces=new DefIntListParam("faces",1);
        my_param_normals=new DefVectorListParam("normals",1);
        my_param_normalFaces=new DefIntListParam("faceNormals",1);
        my_param_shaders=new DefIntListParam("face_mtlIDs",1);
        my_param_uvs=new DefMapChannelsParam("map_channels",1);

        baseGeomPlugin->setParameter(my_param_shaders);
        baseGeomPlugin->setParameter(my_param_vertices);
        baseGeomPlugin->setParameter(my_param_faces);
        baseGeomPlugin->setParameter(my_param_normals);
        baseGeomPlugin->setParameter(my_param_normalFaces);
 <...>
}

void GeomMeshLoader::postRenderEnd(VR::VRayRenderer *vray)
{
     delete my_param_vertices; ----> Putting simply this delete will crash the render and maya
     delete my_param_faces;
     delete my_param_normals;
     delete my_param_normalFaces;
     delete my_param_shaders;
     delete my_param_uvs;
}

Thanks !

OK, found it. Basically deleting directly the parameters is not enough.
factory.clear() is really the way to go, but I was storing static parameters in it that made the function fail. Removing theses static parameters made it work.
