unfortunatly doing that leaks memory try this


Strict

Type Test
	Field name:String
	Field StringVar:Byte Ptr
	
	Method toString1()
		Print "Name: " + name
		Print "StringVar: " + String.fromCString(StringVar) 
	End Method
	
End Type


Local teststring:Byte Ptr	= "Test Ptr".toCString()
Local aka:test 			= New test
aka.name	 		= "test"
aka.StringVar			= teststring

Print aka.tostring1() 


For Local n:Int=0 To 10000000
	Local ts:Byte Ptr= "Papa".toCString()
	MemCopy(teststring,ts,Len("Papa")+1)
	MemFree ts
	aka.tostring1()
Next 
MemFree teststring

and thry doing the same with your example without the memfree's when your code runs the memory used (as reported by a process explorer continually increases)

using the code I have posted here the mem usage stays stable
