@errant condor u haven't sent any code. Anything I tell u is purely a guess

also yeah its good to free dynamic memory (IF EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING), but if you aren't using large amounts of memory and you're just testing for now, then you don't need free as it could further complicate your code if you made mistakes somewhere else. All allocated memory will be released to the parent process on program termination, so you don't need to worry about a floating block of allocated memory for testing purposes.
