DLL and memory allocation question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,


Let's say I have a dll library that allocates some memory and I am as a
user wish to use that memory and later dispose it, How can it be done?

What are general patterns for this kind of a thing?
