void free(void *p) is defined in <stdlib.h> nd it ccan be used like
this.
=20
/* C program (.c) */
=20
#include <stdlib.h>
=20
int main()
{
 int *p;
p=3Dmalloc(10*sizeof(int)); /* It creates an array of 10 integers on the
free store. */
p[0]=3D5;
p[3]=3D7;
/* ... */
=20
free(p); /* It deallocates the memory allocated for 10 integers */
=20
/* Now p points to nowhere, the array doesn't exist */
return 0;
}
=20
For C++ file (.cpp) you must use casting in malloc(), that is:
=20
p=3D(int *)malloc(10*sizeof(int));
=20
=20
but C++ provides more flexible mechanisms, new, new[], delete, and
delete[] so it becomes:
=20
p=3Dnew int[10];
p[0]=3D5;
p[3]=3D7;
// ...
delete[] p; =20

Subject: [Dev-C++] Hello



Hello all,
    This is my first post to this list.  My name is Joseph, you can call
me Blumojo (or "blu" or "mojo" for short).  I really like Dev-cpp and am
thinking of sending a donation if I can get the following to work.  I am
working on NeHe's OpenGL tutorials (http://nehe.gamedev.net/)  which are
really good - even for a novice like me, but the code he gave was for
Visual CPP.  I have worked through a couple of the problems, but have
become "stumped" on lesson 7 where the compiler has given me:
"implicit declaration of function int free()"
In his explanation, this function is used to free memory used to store
texture data.

    First of all, has anyone worked through these tutorials and ported
them to Dev-CPP/MinGW?  If so, I would greatly appreciate the code to
help me along.  Second, is there another (perhaps better) way to free
this memory?
=20
Thank you all so much for the help!
