Hi Gregg

Andy's SDL2 wrapper worked in the first version but unfortunately I seem to be getting an out of memory error. Not sure if there was something I was missing. Here's a bare minimum program that demos the issue.

--minimal setup to demo memory issue with ffi 
--uses SDL, but will just get relevant structure created

I made some small mods to you ffi.e

end function 
 
public procedure free(atom mem) 
    return machine_func( M_FREE, mem )

34 - public added to constant declaration

	end if 
 
    if cleanup then end if 
 
	return mem

but I can't see how these would be an issue.

Anyway, ideas?
