memory.dll (Win32) / memory.so (Ubuntu 14.01 LTS, Debian 7 Wheezy) / memory.inc
Memory access plugin
The predecessor of https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=645166



About

This plugin allows you to allocate dynamic memory, use it, and free it after you don't want to use it anymore.

Why?

PAWN literally doesn't allow you to manage dynamic memory at all. But still there has been releases such as for example y_malloc, which allows you to use dynamic memory in your PAWN scripts.
Speed comparison between y_malloc and this plugin can be found here:

• y_malloc and memory access plugin speed comparison
• y_malloc_benchmark.pwn
• memory_benchmark.pwn

• y_malloc and memory access plugin speed comparison 2
• y_malloc_benchmark2.pwn
• memory_benchmark2.pwn

Allow your scripts to shrink their AMX sizes, by using dynamic memory.

Setup

Put the plugin binary into your server's "plugins" folder and set in server.cfg

Windows:

Code:

plugins memory

LINUX:

Code:

plugins memory.so

After that you can use the memory include in your scripts:

pawn Code:

// On top of your script
#include <memory>
// your code

Compile and run.


Alternatively you can use the secure version (which is slower by a fraction):

Windows:

Code:

plugins memory_secure

LINUX:

Code:

plugins memory_secure.so

Of course you can use the memory include in your scripts:

pawn Code:

// On top of your script
#define SECURE_MEMORY_PLUGIN
#include <memory>
// your code

Compile and run.
