MISRA C:2012  Rule-22.2:  (Mandatory)			A block of memory shall only be freed if it was allocated by means of a Standard Library function

Amplification:

The Standard Library functions that allocate memory are malloc, calloc and realloc.

A block of memory is freed when its address is passed to free and potentially freed when its address is passed to realloc. Once freed, a block of memory is no longer considered to be allocated and therefore cannot subsequently be freed again.

No QAC messages cover this rule.
