# al\_free\_with\_context(3)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_free\_with\_context - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  void al_free_with_context(void *ptr,
     int line, const char *file, const char *func)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

This calls free() from the Allegro library (this matters on Windows), unless overridden with [al\_set\_memory\_interface(3)](/al_set_memory_interface/3.md).

Generally you should use the [al\_free(3)](/al_free/3.md) macro.
