free method

@override void free(Pointer<NativeType> pointer)

Releases memory allocated on the native heap.

For POSIX-based systems, this uses free. On Windows, it uses CoTaskMemFree. It may only be used against pointers allocated in a manner equivalent to allocate.

Implementation

@override
void free(Pointer pointer) {
  if (Platform.isWindows) {
    winCoTaskMemFree(pointer);
  } else {
    posixFree(pointer);
  }
}
