Function

GLibfree_sized

since: 2.76

Declaration

void
g_free_sized (
  gpointer mem,
  size_t size
)

Description

Frees the memory pointed to by mem, assuming it is has the given size.

If mem is NULL this is a no-op (and size is ignored).

It is an error if size doesn’t match the size passed when mem was allocated. size is passed to this function to allow optimizations in the allocator. If you don’t know the allocation size, use g_free() instead.
