Do you mean "don't use one to allocate and the other to free"? I do keep
them separate in that regard (i.e., buffers from LIB$GET_VM are freed using
LIB$FREE_VM).
I'm sure there's plenty of libraries, utilities, etc. that use LIB$GET_VM
*regardless* of what you're doing in C, so they have to be able to
be usable in the same program.
