Explaining a little bit deeper, for example glib (I am a glib fan)
normally allocates the memory inside the functions and the user has to
call the appropriate functions to free them, for example:

/* Notice that these are initialized to the empty list. */
GList *list = NULL, *number_list = NULL;

/* This is a list of strings. */
list = g_list_append (list, "first");
list = g_list_append (list, "second");

// Do whatever

/* Free */
g_list_free(list);

"There is no function to create a GList. NULL is considered to be the
empty list so you simply set a GList* to NULL."
