| These functions are used to simplify analysis of memory |
| leaks in the ncurses library. They are normally not |
| available; they must be configured into the library at |
| build time using the <STRONG>--disable-leaks</STRONG> option. That com- |
| piles-in code that frees memory that normally would not be |
| freed. |
| |
| Any implementation of curses must not free the memory as- |
| sociated with a screen, since (even after calling <STRONG>endwin</STRONG>), |
| it must be available for use in the next call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>. |
| There are also chunks of memory held for performance rea- |
| sons. That makes it hard to analyze curses applications |
| for memory leaks. To work around this, one can build a |
| debugging version of the ncurses library which frees those |
| chunks which it can, and provides these functions to free |
| all of the memory allocated by the ncurses library. |
| |
| The _nc_free_and_exit function is the preferred one since |
| some of the memory which is freed may be required for the |
| application to continue running. Its parameter is the |
| code to pass to the exit routine. |
