free() and code has no effect

[robert]

I'm currently converting some VSC code to this compiler and i am getting
"code has no effect" when ever I compile a free() function. I even used the sample code in the manual and get the same result. Does anyone know if free() works and if there is a workaround.

uP
18f87J10

usage

free((void *)bpb->bpb1);

even this give an error

int *x;
x = malloc(10);
free(x);

I couldn't get the manual's example to work either, as written.
I gave up on it.

What happens if you compile the example file, Ex_Malloc.c ?
Make a project and use that file as the main source file.
Edit the file and change the #include file to 18F87J10.H.
It uses free() and it compiled OK for me with PCH vs. 3.249 and 4.030.
I don't know if it works, but it did compile.
