Questions:
I am going to add a VMS-like interface to a Unix based
C program. The original source gets the arguments via
main (argc, argv)
I have added a call to an external routine written in
Pascal which uses the CLI interface to define qualifiers
and to recieve them upon start. The Pascal routine
reserves some memory by the standard procedure NEW and
passes the addresses back to the C code. So my qustion
is: does the allocated memory gets released when the C
program terminates or must I add some code to do it by
myself to avoid memory leaks ?

When a program image exits, all memory allocated to the image is
automatically freed as part of the "image rundown".
The "image rundown" and "process rundown" support typically cleans
up the various typical constructs that might have been left by an
image or by a process.
