Re: [Dev-C++] Generic C++ question.

I think that memory can be deallocated using free at any time so long as you 
have char* still around. So I'm assuming in your function (method) you have
char* pX;
pX malloc(whatever) ((I do C++))
return pX;

you can use pX in the main() function to deallocate with free.
