[Glass] How can I release a malloced CByteArray ....

[James Foster]

The short answer is “you can’t!” As indicated in the method comment, this is intended to be used to pass to C functions that take responsibility for freeing the memory. In most cases you should use CByteArray class>>#'gcMalloc:’ so that the external memory is freed automatically when the object is no longer referenced within Smalltalk.
