• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Memory Management of unused code

  Hi. I have multiple objects controled by multiple classes. To ensure the classes are only there when i need them (i.e.they are only created when the level that they exist on is loaded so as not to clutter memory with unneeded objects) however. It just dawned on me that all these classes have associated functions (of course). So how is it possible that when the first of a perticular object created with the new operator knows to load in the compil ...Show All
