gfree

Frees the memory pointed to by mem.

If you know the allocated size of mem, calling [glib.global.freeSized] may be faster, depending on the libc implementation in use.

Starting from GLib 2.78, this may happen automatically in case a GCC compatible compiler is used with some optimization level and the allocated size is known at compile time (see documentation of __builtin_object_size() to understand its caveats).

If mem is null it simply returns, so there is no need to check mem against null before calling this function.
