I feel like an idiot but I don't seem to be able to solve the following problem:
When I define a handle class, how do I destroy it?
Example:
classdef test_class < handle
properties
% Lots of data
data = rand(1e4,1e4);
end
methods
function delete(obj)
% What do I put here to destroy the object itself: erase the object itself from memory
% Only "clear all" seems to work
end
end
end
Testing this with
x = test_class;
clear x
memory
clear all
memory
shows that the class data is effectively destroyed by clear all.
Does anyone know what code to use in the delete function ??
Thanks for you replies
Olaf

Hello Olaf,
I understand you want to clear the class definition in the 'delete' method. You can use the following command:
clear classes;
Note that this command issues a warning and does not clear a class of objects if any of those objects still exists after the workspace is cleared. For example, objects can still exist in persistent variables of functions or figure windows. Also, lear classes does not clear a class if its file is locked using the mlock command. No warning is issued in this case.
Also, if you are using MATLAB R2012b or earlier versions, note that there is a bug when using clear classes. This bug is fixed in R2013a.
I hope this helps,
Ghada
