- /* I don't recommend using this interface in general. Use `free'.
- *
- * I'm told Microsoft Windows may use one set of `malloc' and `free'
- * in a library, and another incompatible set in a statically compiled
- * application that link to the library, thus creating problems if the
- * application would invoke `free' on a pointer pointing to memory
- * allocated by the library. This motivated adding this function.
- *
- * The theory of isolating all memory allocations and de-allocations
- * within a code package (library) sounds good, to simplify hunting
- * down memory allocation related problems, but I'm not sure if it is
- * worth enough to motivate recommending this interface over calling
- * `free' directly, though.
- *
- * If you have any thoughts or comments on this, please let me know.
