nng_free - free memory
Contents
Description
The nng_free() function deallocates a memory region of size size, that was previously allocated by
nng_alloc() or nng_recv() with the NNG_FLAG_ALLOC flag.
Important
It is very important that size match the allocation size used to allocate the memory.
Important
Do not attempt to use this function to deallocate memory obtained by a call to the system malloc() or
calloc() functions, or the C++ new operator. Doing so may result in unpredictable behavior, including
corruption of application memory.
Errors
