PtrArray.free

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

If array contents point to dynamically-allocated memory, they should be freed separately if @free_seg is %TRUE and no #GDestroyNotify function has been set for @array.

This function is not thread-safe. If using a #GPtrArray from multiple threads, use only the atomic g_ptr_array_ref() and g_ptr_array_unref() functions.
