25DESCRIPTION
26</b><br>
27<P>
28If <i>match_data</i> is NULL, this function does nothing. Otherwise,
29<i>match_data</i> must point to a match data block, which this function frees,
30using the memory freeing function from the general context or compiled pattern
31with which it was created, or <b>free()</b> if that was not set.
32</P>
33<P>
34If the PCRE2_COPY_MATCHED_SUBJECT was used for a successful match using this
35match data block, the copy of the subject that was remembered with the block is
36also freed.
