Hi Roger! :-)

 RS> Freeing a structure should be nothing more than one line...
 RS> free(PointerToMyStructure);
Unless the structure contains malloc'd pointers itself, in which case
those have to be freed first. Additional fun if the structures pointed to
by embedded pointers can contain further pointers... :)

I usually code functions called destroy_foo() for each structure foo that
has embedded pointers. That hides the complexety and code needing to
destroy a variable temp of type foo does indeed only have to do

    destroy_foo(temp);
