Subject: [ruby-talk:6369] Is xfree() the proper counter part to ALLOC_N() or ALLOC() ?

Hi,

In an extension to Ruby I allocate memory with ALLOC_N() and ALLOC().

If I use free() I get a runtime exception.

Looking in ruby.h  I see  xfree() which seems to work okay, however I don't
read anything in readme.ext or Programming Ruby that indicates that this is
the preferred method.

Thanks!

John
