Objects are automatically released using Lua's garbage collection
mechanism, that is, when there are no references to them in
Lua. However, some objects may demand an explicit termination method
call, like ``Quit''.
obj = luacom.CreateObject("MyApp.MyObj")
-- Here we force an immediate release of the object
obj = nil
collectgarbage()
Notice that if there is any references to the COM object alive in
Lua then the application (or library) that implements it will not
exit.
