I isolated something that crashed and i want to understand why.

    *name = charset_unicodetoutf8(L"Secret", wcslen(L"Secret"), NULL);

Why is charset_unicodetoutf8 crashing here. The principle works:

void test()
{
	char *name = NULL;
	functA(&name);
	post("%s", name);
	free(name);
}
void functA(char ** name)
{
	*name = charset_unicodetoutf8(L"Secret", wcslen(L"Secret"), NULL);
}

Ok, solved. 
It's not  charset_unicodetoutf8() , it's  free(name) that is crashing here. I guess  charset_unicodetoutf8  is using the api call sysmem_newptr() because it works if I replace free() with sysmem_freeptr(). I didn't know I can't mix that with free() of C. 

charset_unicodetoutf8() is allocating memory and returning a pointer, right?
