Allocation in erl_interface

[Corrado Santoro]

Dear all,


I'm using ports to perform a communication between an erlang program and 
a C one.

In the C program, I'm using erl_XXX function to extract data from 
incoming messages; I'm wondering if each call to a erl_XXX function 
(e.g. erl_element, erl_hd, erl_tail) perform a new allocation, so the 
return term must be then deallocated by means of erl_free_term.

Any suggestion?
