Deallocate a block of memory
#include <audio_driver.h> void ado_free( void *ptr );
The ado_free() macro deallocates the given block of memory that you allocated by calling ado_calloc(), ado_malloc(), ado_realloc(), or ado_strdup().
The ado_free() macro is defined as ado_free_debug(), or free(), if ADO_DEBUG is defined; see “Debugging an audio driver” in the Organization of a Driver chapter.
The advantage of using the debug variants of the memory functions is that they track the memory allocated; see ado_memory_dump(). The debug variant of ado_free() stops this tracking for the given block.
