SYNOPSYS¶
#include "aut101.h"
void autfreeheap( Pointer, Size )
char ∗Pointer;
unsigned int Size;
PARAMETERS¶
- Pointer
- Pointer to be given back to the heap.
- Size
- Size of the block previously allocated by autallocheap.
DESCRIPTION¶
autfreeheap frees a pointer and puts the block back to the heap. Its use
is necessary to free memory blocks, previously allocated by
autallocheap.
RETURN VALUE¶
autfreeheap returns nothing.
EXAMPLE¶
#include "aut101.h"
typedef struct bipointer
{
struct bipointer ∗NEXT;
void ∗DATA;
} bipointer;
bipointer ∗addbipointer( Data );
void ∗Data;
{
bipointer ∗Bp = (bipointer ∗)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
Bp->DATA = Data;
return Bp;
}
void delbipointer( Bp );
bipointer ∗Bp;
{
autfreeheap( Pointer, sizeof( bipointer ) );
}
