free() is the "counterpart" to malloc(). malloc() lets you allocate memory for your use; free() returns that memory back to the system. The original posters meaning was that "malloc() has non-trivial execution costs", but the other meaning is, tautologically, malloc is the "complement" of free (think true is not false). |
