)

public:
static void free(
	void_ptr ptr, 
	size_t size
)

static member free : 
        ptr : void_ptr * 
        size : size_t -> unit 

Parameters

ptr

Type: Math.Gmp.Nativevoid_ptr
Pointer to previously allocated block.

size

Type: Math.Gmp.Nativesize_t
Number of bytes of previously allocated block.

The free function parameter size is passed for convenience, but of course it can be ignored if not needed by an implementation. The default functions using malloc and friends for instance don’t use it.
