Re: [igraph] free memory

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi Yulia, there is no API currently for freeing memory in a vector. As
most users use igraph from R or Python and vectors are often
destroyed, this was not considered a serious issue. I understand that
it is, if you program in C. I'll add API for it asap, see

Best,
Gabor
