NAME

FreeMem -- deallocate with knowledge

SYNOPSIS

    FreeMem(memoryBlock, byteSize)
            A1           D0

    void FreeMem(void *,ULONG);

FUNCTION

Free a region of memory, returning it to the system pool from which it came. Freeing partial blocks back into the system pool is unwise.

NOTE If a block of memory is freed twice, the system will Guru. The Alert is AN_FreeTwice ($01000009). If you pass the wrong pointer, you will probably see AN_MemCorrupt $01000005. Future versions may add more sanity checks to the memory lists.

INPUTS

memoryBlock - pointer to the memory block to free byteSize - the size of the desired block in bytes. (The operating system will automatically round this number to a multiple of the system memory chunk size)
