Re: [sr-dev] Does shm_free() make the pointer NULL?

the pointer is not set to NULL, it never was, no matter the version and name, since ser was started. Not even with system malloc, free does not set it to null. One reason is that the pointer is given as parameter by value, so the variable holding it cannot be changed. Well, in K, shm_free() is a macro (define) and can be coded to set it to null, but it is a risk if the parameter is an expression (e.g., computing the pointer from: a start of a structure + offset). To be able and safe to set it to null in a function, the parameter must be a pointer to the pointer, like:  static int *number;  number = shm_malloc(sizeof(int));  my_shm_free(&number);
