I just wonder if freeing memory that has been allocated by another function is considered bad style.
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int *fun (void); int main (void) { int *ptr; ptr = fun (); free (ptr); return 0; } int *fun (void) { int *ptr; ptr = malloc (sizeof (int)); return ptr; }
Not in my opinion. A lot of the time you setup functions specifically for creating and destroying objects.Originally posted by char

Just don't make things obscure (don't hide this type of activity in the depths of an unrelated function!).Code:node * CreateNode(); node * DestroyNode(node *);
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Thank you, Hammer.
