Hey Daniel,<br>
Thanks for the catch, but we don't check for successful memory <br>
allocation anywhere in the engine. I'm not sure what we'd do if we ran
<br>
out of memory. Gracefully degradating from such a state is a complex <br>
problem. Also, our engine doesn't use try/catch/throw error handling, <br>
so throwing anything would cross a consistency line. Note: not
debating <br>
that we SHOULDN'T use exception error handling, only that we currently <br>
do not</font></blockquote>

Troy,</div>

<div>Wearing my QA hat, I think we ought to plan on using
try/catch/throw error handling pretty soon. How about after your
sabbatical?:) Also can we set some standard for garbage collection?
For example when we construct a temporary object is the deconstructor
working properly to clean things up? I'm not a C++ programmer, so maybe
you have some better ideas to help keep us from running out of memory.</div>

I have found the best way to handle memory problems in C++ is to write
code in Java ;)<br>
