Synopsis
#include "aut101.h" void autfreeheap( Pointer, Size ) char ∗Pointer; unsigned int Size;
Parameters
- Pointer
Pointer to be given back to the heap.
- Size
Size of the block previously allocated by autallocheap.

Return Value
autfreeheap returns nothing.
Example
#include "aut101.h"
typedef struct bipointer
{
struct bipointer ∗NEXT;
void ∗DATA;
} bipointer;
bipointer ∗addbipointer( Data );
void ∗Data;
{
bipointer ∗Bp = (bipointer ∗)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
Bp->DATA = Data;
return Bp;
}
void delbipointer( Bp );
bipointer ∗Bp;
{
autfreeheap( Pointer, sizeof( bipointer ) );
