Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say, hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-) Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18. RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are switching to git. Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
|
|
blkfree - free memory allocated to named block
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
blkfree(val)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
val named block, string, or integer
|
|
|
|
return null value
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
If val is a named block, or the name of a named block, or the
|
|
identifying index for a named block, blkfree(val) frees the
|
|
memory block allocated to this named block. The block remains
|
|
in existence with the same name, identifying index, and chunksize,
|
|
but its size and maxsize becomes zero and the pointer for the start
|
|
of its data block null.
|
|
|
|
A new block of memory may be allocated to a freed block B by
|
|
blk(B [, len, chunk]), len defaulting to zero and chunk to the
|
|
chunksize when the block was freed.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
; B1 = blk("foo")
|
|
; B2 = blk("Second block")
|
|
show blocks

|
