_xfree()
Free allocated memory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Prototype
#include "fm.api"
void _xfree(
void far * vlpMem
)
Arguments
vlpMem is a far pointer to memory allocated with _xalloc() or
_xgrab().
Returns
_xfree() has no return value.
Description
_xfree() releases memory allocated by _xalloc() or _xgrab(). Note that
the pointer returned by _xalloc() or _xgrab() must be passed as the
argument to _xfree().
Note: In Fm.api, _exmback() is defined (using #define) to _xfree()
to maintain compatibility with Summer '87.
Examples
. From C:
char *mem;
mem = _xgrab(320);
_xfree(mem);
. From Assembly language:
EXTRN __xgrab:FAR
EXTRN __xfree:FAR
mov ax, 320
push ax
call __xgrab ; pointer in DX:AX
add sp, 2 ; reset stack pointer
push dx
push ax
call __xfree ; give it right back
add sp, 4
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB, header file is Fm.api.
