Which library use "int free(...) function"? For some reason, the compiler will refuse it. Here what it said:

89 C:\Dev-Cpp\C++ programs\sample\demo_cube.cpp
implicit declaration of function `int free(...)'

#include <stdlib.h>

And only use it on pointers to memory allocated by malloc()-type functions.

In C++, use new and delete, or their array versions.

Thanks for the tip. It solved the problem. On Lesson 6, I noticed this function and assumed it was included in the C++ library. Maybe Nehe can edit his tutorials that use it since they are coded in C++.

The C library is part of the C++ library.
malloc and free are C memory management functions.

C++ has its own ''built-in'' memory managment operators.
