First off, please set your email client to wrap lines at 75 characters
when posting to the list.
To do this you must make sure and follow a ceartain convention when
freeing memory. More specifically what you want to do is make sure and
follow a `free(x);' with `x=NULL;'.
Then you can easily check to see if it points to valid memory simply by
doing this...
if (x) {
/* memory is valid */
} else {
/* memory is not valid */
}
