i have a function that re-use same associative array over and over within a
loop. and i release the array with 'null' afther each loop, will that be a
problem of meamory leak after few thousands loop. sample function as below:

void[] [char[]] dict;
void[] [char[]] temp;

function test()
{
  for (..) {
    for (...) {
       temp[name]=value;

No, AA's are built in the GC heap so it can't leak.

Everything you allocate is garbage-collected.  Arrays, AAs, classes -
_everything_.
