I can't tell if you are kidding or not.

Please read the documentation for how to do this properly.  I find it
really hard to believe that you wrote that comment instead of putting in
the 2 lines of code required for this function.

Especially as-it-is, your code does not work properly and leaks memory
badly.  Why would you do that on purpose?
