Function Macro

GLibslice_free

since: 2.10

Declaration

#define g_slice_free (
  type,
  mem
)

Description

A convenience macro to free a block of memory that has been allocated from the slice allocator.

It calls g_slice_free1() using sizeof (type) as the block size. Note that the exact release behaviour can be changed with the [G_DEBUG=gc-friendly][G_DEBUG] environment variable.

If mem is NULL, this macro does nothing.

Since GLib 2.76 this always uses the system free() implementation internally.

Available since: 2.10

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

Parameters

type

Type: -

The type of the block to free, typically a structure name.

mem

Type: -

A pointer to the block to free.
