10       void autfreeheap( Pointer, Size )
11          char         ∗Pointer;
12          unsigned int Size;
13

PARAMETERS

15       Pointer             Pointer to be given back to the heap.
16
17       Size                Size  of  the  block previously allocated by autal‐

21       autfreeheap frees a pointer and puts the block back to the  heap.   Its
22       use  is necessary to free memory blocks, previously allocated by autal‐
23       locheap.

RETURN VALUE

26       autfreeheap returns nothing.

EXAMPLE

29       #include "aut101.h"
30       typedef struct bipointer
31       {
32         struct bipointer ∗NEXT;
33         void             ∗DATA;
34       } bipointer;
35       bipointer ∗addbipointer( Data );
36         void ∗Data;
37       {
38         bipointer ∗Bp = (bipointer ∗)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
39         Bp->DATA = Data;
40         return Bp;
41       }
42       void delbipointer( Bp );
43         bipointer ∗Bp;
44       {
45         autfreeheap( Pointer, sizeof( bipointer ) );
46       }
