There is code:

class TestDeleteDelegate {
    uint k = 0;
    ~TestDeleteDelegate() {
        Print("~TestDeleteDelegate");
    }
    void func() {
        Print("func " + k);
    }
};

funcdef void vv();
vv@ funcRef;

void testDelDelegate() {
    TestDeleteDelegate tdd;
    tdd.k = 10;
    @funcRef = vv(tdd.func);
}

int main() {
    testDelDelegate();
    funcRef();
    return 0;
}

When I run this and call module→Discard, I get output:

func 10
~TestDeleteDelegate
>>> warning: There is an external reference to an object in module 'test', preventing it from being deleted
>>> warning: The function in previous message is named 'main'. The func type is 1
>>> warning: There is an external reference to an object in module 'test', preventing it from being deleted
>>> warning: The function in previous message is named '~TestDeleteDelegate'. The func type is 1
>>> warning: There is an external reference to an object in module 'test', preventing it from being deleted
>>> warning: The builtin type in previous message is named 'TestDeleteDelegate'

Why references not cleared correctly on discard module?

Hi Alexander,

this looks like a bug. It certainly should be able to properly discard the module and free the memory in this case. I'll need to investigate this.

Thanks for bringing it to me.

Although the problem is probably somewhere in my integration code. I ran this code in asrun - it worked fine there.

Can you identify what you're doing differently than I do in asrun?

If it works in asrun as you say then I probably won't be able to reproduce the problem without knowing what you do differently, but I'll give it a try.

Thanks for support. Turns out it's my bug. Two points: in ny implementation when returning the context to the pool, I did not call the Unprepere for it, and before turning off the engine, I did not release the contexts from the pool.

void asReturnContext(asIScriptEngine* engine, asIScriptContext* ctx, void*) {
    ctx->Unprepare();
    contextPool.push_back(ctx);
}
...
for (auto c : contextPool)
    c->Release();
asEngine->ShutDownAndRelease();

and all worked fine.

Great, thanks for the update.
