Throughout the routes of kamailio we use multiple
variables. These
consist of $var, $avp, $dlg_var and probably more. What's the policy for
these variables when used. When, if even, are they being cleaned up
after a call has been terminated.
These variables are limited to their scope, a $var is valid in the current SIP
message. An $avp's scope is a SIP transaction (eg from INVITE til the end of a
BYE), the same for $dlg_var but then only when using the dialog module.
Destroying seems to be handled internally by kamailio core at the end of a
message, by (I guess) tm.so for $avp and dialog.so for dlg_var at the end of
the transactions lifetime. You don't need to do manual garbage collection,
avp_delete can be used to unset avps within scope though.
