Example

The following example uses free to de-allocate a buffer of length 1024.

    char * buf;
    if ((buf = (char *)calloc(1024, sizeof(char))) == NULL) {
        lr_output_message ("Insufficient memory available");
        return -1;
    }
    lr_output_message ("Memory allocated. Buffer address = %.8x", buf);

    // Do something with the buffer here ... 

    // Now free the buffer 

    free(buf);

Example: Output:
Action.c(11): Memory allocated. Buffer address = 007b9d88
