Function `core.memory.GC.free`

Deallocates the memory referenced by p. If p is null, no action occurs. If p references memory not originally allocated by this garbage collector, if p points to the interior of a memory block, or if this method is called from a finalizer, no action will be taken. The block will not be finalized regardless of whether the FINALIZE attribute is set. If finalization is desired, call destroy prior to GC.free.
