Re: [jed-users] Problem: undefined reference to `SLang_release_function'

[Sebastian Gniazdowski <sgniazdowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, I see. I'm getting away with it by using a regular free(). It works
well. I suspect that the release requires only this single free() call and
that this might have been the reason for omission of the dedicated function?

I'm using GCC 10.2.
