+ // WORKAROUND
+ //
+ // An absolutely horrible hack follows. The current memory management
+ // is completely broken and it needs to be seriously hacked to work at
+ // all. The problem is caching sound samples in BArchive and clearing
+ // all caches when entering a new location. The animation sequences
+ // store pointers to samples owned by the BArchive cache, which gets
+ // invalidated during the location change. If an animation sequence
+ // survives location change and refers to any sound sample, we get
+ // SIGSEGV when next played, because this sound sample will have been
+ // deallocated by the cache although still referred to by the animation.
+ //
+ // Caveat: when I tried to perform a deep copy and make the animation
+ // object own the sound samples and deallocate them when the animation
+ // has been deleted, I get an almost immediate SIGSEGV in runWrapper()
+ // on many objects, because often an animation graphically ends and is
+ // stopped, but the last sound sample still plays for a short while
+ // afterwards. If the sound sample is cached, it's OK, but if it's
+ // deallocated with releaseAnims==true, we get SIGSEGV in the sound
+ // mixer. This problem doesn't occur when changing locations, because
+ // there we first explicitly stop all playing sounds.
+ //
+ // The loop above deallocates all animations corresponding to non-hero
+ // objects. Hero is special, because the first ~20 animations are
+ // standard and loaded for the whole game (standing, walking, etc.).
+ // They are loaded by the GPL2 init routine for object hero. Luckily
+ // the animations don't refer to any sound samples. The remaining
+ // animations thus must be deallocated manually, otherwise they won't
+ // be re-loaded next time assuming that they are already correctly
+ // loaded.
+ //
+ // mini-TODO: integrate this deletion into deleteAnim() an optional
+ // parameter with starting index for deletion.
+ //
+ // Why this only occurs for sound samples and not sprites? This bug is
+ // concealed by a complete coincidence, that all sprites are stored
+ // column-wise and our class Sprite detects this and creates a local
+ // copy. If this wasn't the case, each animation (not just with sound
+ // samples) would fail and preserving the ~20 hero animations wouldn't
+ // work either.
+ //
+ // TODO: maybe simply deallocate everything except for those ~20 hero
+ // animations instead of listing what to deallocate. maybe simply
+ // deallocate everything; reloading isn't that expensive.
+ //
+ // TODO: completely rewrite the resource management. maybe implement
+ // usage counters? maybe completely ignore the GPL2 hints and manage
+ // memory completely on my own?
+ //
+ // URGENT TODO: if a game item is in the hero's hands when changing
+ // locations, its animations survive and we get assert in
+ // AnimationManager::load().
