DisposPtr

Release nonrelocatable memory block

#include <Memory.h> Memory Manager

void DisposPtr(thePtr );

Ptr thePtr ; pointer to a nonrelocatable memory block

DisposPtr releases a nonrelocatable memory block that was allocated via

thePtr is the address of a nonrelocatable block of memory. After the call,

this pointer (and ALL DUPLICATES) will point to an area of memory

that is not allocated to the application.

Returns: none; the MemError function may return one of:

noErr (0) No error

memWZErr (-111) Illegal operation on a free block

Notes: DisposPtr releases a memory back into the heap zone from which it was

originally carved via NewPtr.

Be careful NOT to call DisposPtr twice for the same memory block (e.g.,

if you have made a duplicate of thePtr, it need not (and should not) be

disposed).
