void free(void *
ptr);
The
free() function shall cause the space pointed to by
ptr to be
deallocated; that is, made available for further allocation. If
ptr is
a null pointer, no action shall occur. Otherwise, if the argument does not
match a pointer earlier returned by the
calloc(),
malloc(),
posix_memalign(),
realloc(), or
strdup() function, or if
the space has been deallocated by a call to
free() or
realloc(),
the behavior is undefined.
Any use of a pointer that refers to freed space results in undefined behavior.
The
free() function shall not return a value.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
There is now no requirement for the implementation to support the inclusion of
<malloc.h>.
