ArrayG.free

Frees the memory allocated for the #GArray. If @free_segment is %TRUE it frees the memory block holding the elements as well and also each element if @array has a @element_free_func set. Pass %FALSE if you want to free the #GArray wrapper but preserve the underlying array for use elsewhere. If the reference count of @array is greater than one, the #GArray wrapper is preserved but the size of @array will be set to zero.

If array elements contain dynamically-allocated memory, they should be freed separately.
