globalmapper.free_void
======================

.. currentmodule:: globalmapper
.. py:function:: free_void (int pointer) -> void

    Frees the memory at *pointer* that has been allocated by :doc:`malloc_void<globalmapper.malloc_void>`. The value of
    *pointer* will remain unchanged. This is essentially a duplicate of the C++ free() method and not something standard
    for Python, so it should only be used on memory that you have allocated manually.

    :param int pointer: The memory address of the start of some allocated space
    :returns: Nothing is returned
    :rtype: void
