From some fairly System-Vish man pages for malloc/free: The argument to free is a pointer to a block previously allocated by malloc; after free is performed this space is made available for further allocation, but its contents are left undisturbed. ===================================== You can claim that this is WRONG, but for compatibility I'd recommend not going against the grain with alternative malloc/free implementations.
