its definitely free, but if you have a doubt, just use an if statement to check if the value of the pointer is NULL then the memory is freed, i guess you know how to do that edit: am not sure they is a way to check this, but after freeing the pointer you can assign the pointer to NULL

p will not be null after free call because I pass p by value so p will not affected
