al_free(3)                                                          al_free(3)

NAME
       al_free - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              #define al_free(p) \
                 (al_free_with_context((p), __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__))

DESCRIPTION
       Like free() in the C standard library, but the implementation may be
       overridden.

       Additionally, on Windows, a memory block allocated by one DLL must be
       freed from the same DLL.  In the few places where an Allegro function
       returns a pointer that must be freed, you must use al_free(3) for
       portability to Windows.

       This is a macro.
