Not too important but would userdata who have been cleared from tables be garbage collected?
The script I use is a bit complicated so I’ll just create a simple version of what I’m doing
local module= {} module.Stores= {} function module.new(name) local thing = newproxy(true) local proxy = {} local meta = getmetatable(thing) proxy.Name = name meta.__tostring = function(t) return t.Name end meta.__index = proxy module.Stores[thing.Name] = thing -- store it in a table return thing end -- later somewhen module.Stores[name] = nil -- will it be removed from memory Will the userdata along with the proxy data and metatable be garbage collected too?
I’m only asking this since I don’t want massive memory leaks in my game.
Edit: Also if there were no other references to it besides that table would it be removed?
