Question

I am trying to implement classes implementing the wav playing, as explained in this example. The relevant code part is here :

/* Setup for conversion */
wav_cvt.buf = malloc(wav_len * wav_cvt.len_mult);
wav_cvt.len = wav_len;
memcpy(wav_cvt.buf, wav_buf, wav_len);

/* We can delete to original WAV data now */
SDL_FreeWAV(wav_buf);

/* And now we're ready to convert */
SDL_ConvertAudio(&wav_cvt);

When a wav file finishes playing (I am not going to play it again), do I need to free the memory buffer that is malloc()-ed above? Or is it done automatically somewhere?

Answer 1

No, nothing is done automatically. You must free it.
