Thanks for the comment, Colin.

I'm curious; can you give a code sample of the conditional if statement?
Hi Andrew,
No answer here, just some behaviour that might be of interest to you
(everything I write pertains to v0.3. I've no experience with v0.4 and I
understand some fairly large changes have occurred in garbage collection).
I faced the problem in my work of reading in lots of data from the
I claim no expertise in this domain. I have just some related question
about the gc:
In static language, we do RAII. In dynamic language, we use gc to free us
from worrying about the memory. It releases resource automatically when we
need more memory for new objects. So why bother to call gc()
Thanks for the explanation, Yichao.
If I want to delete the object and free up the memory, what should I do?

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to free up memory by zeroing and
garbage collecting objects in a function.
function runModel()
d = generateData()
d = 0
gc()
end
When I run runModel() in the REPL memory usage remains as if d is still
stored in memory.
Even if I do:
for i i
