_free_dbg

Frees a block of memory in the heap (debug version only).

Syntax

void _free_dbg(
   void *userData,
   int blockType
);

Parameters

userData
Pointer to the allocated memory block to be freed.

blockType
Type of allocated memory block to be freed: _CLIENT_BLOCK, _NORMAL_BLOCK, or _IGNORE_BLOCK.

Remarks

The _free_dbg function is a debug version of the free function. When _DEBUG isn't defined, each call to _free_dbg is reduced to a call to free. Both free and _free_dbg free a memory block in the base heap, but _free_dbg accommodates two debugging features: the ability to keep freed blocks in the heap's linked list to simulate low memory conditions and a block type parameter to free specific allocation types.

_free_dbg performs a validity check on all specified files and block locations before performing the free operation. The application isn't expected to provide this information. When a memory block is freed, the debug heap manager automatically checks the integrity of the buffers on either side of the user portion. It issues an error report if it detects an overwrite. If the _CRTDBG_DELAY_FREE_MEM_DF bit field of the _crtDbgFlag flag is set, the freed block is filled with the value 0xDD, assigned the _FREE_BLOCK block type, and kept in the heap's linked list of memory blocks.

If an error occurs in freeing the memory, errno is set with information from the operating system on the nature of the failure. For more information, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

For information about how memory blocks are allocated, initialized, and managed in the debug version of the base heap, see CRT debug heap details. For information about the allocation block types and how they're used, see Types of blocks on the debug heap. For information about the differences between calling a standard heap function and the debug version, see Debug versions of heap allocation functions.
