   unsigned int Size;

PARAMETERS

Pointer
Pointer to be given back to the heap.
Size
Size of the block previously allocated by autallocheap.

DESCRIPTION

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 ) );
}
