Description

Idea is to have a portable use of 'free' among platforms, including cygwin.

A so called free function is done in geos, and is called 'GEOSFree'.

The patch is trivial, just use this function instead of libc.free.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [11979]) Fixed #12438 -- now use GEOSFree to free string pointers allocated within GEOS when available; now parse out subminor version, and added a GEOS_VERSION tuple.

(In [11980]) [1.1.X] Fixed #12438 -- now use GEOSFree to free string pointers allocated within GEOS when available; now parse out subminor version, and added a GEOS_VERSION tuple.

Backport of r11979 from trunk.
