no, no FreeTDS haven't any special memory allocator, just
malloc/calloc/free. However even strdup and (v)asprintf return
pointers to be freed with free so they should use same allocators. It
would be interesting to understand which libraries your compiler
use... mmm... try to compile a simple program like (mem.c)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
   char *s = strdup("hi");
   void *p = malloc(100);
   free(p);
  return 0;
}

with

gcc -o mem -Wall -s -O2 mem.c

and pass result (mem)
