SdsFreeIdCheck - Free an identifier so that its associated memory may be reused. Check id.

Function

Free an identifier so that its associated memory may be reused. Check id.

Description

Each identifier allocated by SDS uses memory. To avoid excessive allocation of memory the SdsFreeId function can be used to free memory associated with an identifier that is no longer needed. When this is done the memory will be reused by SDS for a subsequent identifier when needed.

This version will check that SdsDelete()/SdsFreeId() have been run, if required.
