vec_free

Frees memory allocated by vec_malloc, vec_calloc and vec_realloc

Compatibility:

This function is compatible with the following targets:

ANSI
BeOS
EMB/RTOS
Mac OS
Palm OS
Win32

Altivec

Prototype:
void	vec_free(void *ptr);
:

Parameters for this facility are:

ptr  
void *  
A pointer to the allocated memory  

Remarks:

The vec_free() function releases a previously allocated memory block, pointed to by ptr, to the heap. The ptr argument should hold an address returned by the memory allocation functions vec_calloc(), vec_malloc(), or vec_realloc(). Once the memory block ptr points to has been released, it is no longer valid. The ptr variable should not be used to reference memory again until it is assigned a value from the memory allocation functions.

Return:

There is no return.
