FreeMem -- deallocate with knowledge
FreeMem(memoryBlock, byteSize)
A1 D0
void FreeMem(void *,ULONG);
Free a region of memory, returning it to the system pool from which
it came. Freeing partial blocks back into the system pool is
unwise.
If a block of memory is freed twice, the system will Guru. The
Alert is AN_FreeTwice ($01000009). If you pass the wrong pointer,
you will probably see AN_MemCorrupt $01000005. Future versions may
add more sanity checks to the memory lists.
memoryBlock - pointer to the memory block to free
byteSize - the size of the desired block in bytes. (The operating
system will automatically round this number to a multiple of
the system memory chunk size)
