  27  * gsasl_free:
  28  * @ptr: memory pointer
  29  *
  30  * Invoke free(@ptr) to de-allocate memory pointer.  Typically used on
  31  * strings allocated by other libgsasl functions.
  32  *
  33  * This is useful on Windows where libgsasl is linked to one CRT and
  34  * the application is linked to another CRT.  Then malloc/free will
  35  * not use the same heap.  This happens if you build libgsasl using
  36  * mingw32 and the application with Visual Studio.
  37  *
  38  * Since: 0.2.19
