in thread Inline::C & Strawberry: can't free a buffer allocated with asprintf

Thank you everyone for answers. Either of #undef free or __mingw_str_free(s); indeed work as expected (don't die, do de-allocate). In the end, asprintf brings more mess than convenience in this environment, so I'd rather revert to manual allocation/concatenation etc. :)

`asprintf` is just one of many functions in C which will allocate memory and expect the caller to free it, so this is bound to happen again with other functions. Using `__mingw_str_free()` will cause portability issues.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
