Recursively freeing C structs

Question

I have a struct that only contains pointers to memory that I\'ve allocated. Is there a way to recursively free each element that is a pointer rather than calling free on eac

Answer 1

Not really - although you can write a method to do all six frees so that you never miss one.

void freeModel( model* md1 ) {
    free (mdl->vertices);
    free (mdl->normals);
    free (mdl->uv_coords);
    free (mdl->quads);
    free (mdl->triangles);
    free (mdl);
}
