Function core.memory.GC.free

Deallocates the memory referenced by p. If p is null, no action occurs. If p references memory not originally allocated by this garbage collector, or if it points to the interior of a memory block, no action will be taken. The block will not be finalized regardless of whether the FINALIZE attribute is set. If finalization is desired, use delete instead.

Prototype

  void* p
) pure nothrow;

Parameters

NameDescription
p A pointer to the root of a valid memory block or to null.
