23.6. slapi_ch_free()
Description
Frees space allocated by the slapi_ch_malloc(), slapi_ch_realloc(), and slapi_ch_calloc() functions and sets the pointer to NULL. Call this function instead of the standard free() C function.
Syntax
#include "slapi-plugin.h" void slapi_ch_free( void **ptr );
Parameters
This function takes the following parameter:
|
ptr
| Address of the pointer to the block of memory that you want to free. If NULL, no action occurs. |
Memory Concerns
The ptr passed to slapi_ch_free() should be the address of a pointer that was allocated using a slapi call such as slapi_ch_malloc(), slapi_ch_calloc(), slapi_ch_realloc(), or slapi_ch_strdup().
