在函数中返回值后，我们可以使用free（）吗？

Question

在返回char的函数中，必须动态分配内存。但是，我们可以释放内存使用free（）后返回一个值回调用函数？

你不能做到这一点

char *chrdate(struct weather *wdt, int loop) 
{ 
    char *stdate = (char*)calloc(11,sizeof(char)); 
    sprintf(stdate, "%d/%d/%d", (wdt+loop)->day,(wdt+loop)->month,(wdt+loop)->year); 
    return stdate; // your function execution end here 
    free(stdate); // the execution won't reach here 
} 

chrdate返回一个指向内存已分配和分配它到

(pinfo+loop)->date = chrdate(pinfo, loop); 

你不想free()它因为你会在下一次使用它。

for (loop = 0; loop<4; loop++) 
{ 
    printf("%s\n",info[loop].date); // still use it here 
} 

而应该在完成使用该内存时调用free((pinfo+loop)->date)。
