Function RTKFreeBuffer

Function RTKFreeBuffer passes a buffer to a Memory Pool:

void RTKFreeBuffer(RTKMemPool * Pool, void * Buffer);

Parameters

Pool

Pointer to the pool handle of the pool to which to pass the buffer.

Buffer

Pointer to the buffer to pass. In general, the buffer will have been retrieved previously from the pool; however, it can also have been allocated by a different method (e.g., malloc, RTKAlloc, or allocated as a static variable).

It must be ensured that the same buffer is not passed to a pool twice by RTKFreeBuffer, because this would destroy the Memory Pool. This condition is not recognized by RTKFreeBuffer and the program will crash in most cases.
