Since the unit in question is supposed to work with whatever data type is thrown at it (it is intended to be generic set of queuing routines),

By the calling program. All the queue unit ever sees are pointers and its own infrastructure.
But then, I think it would be good style to add a call to the unit that does the allocation - if you really want the unit to be generic, as you write. After all, it is possible that the calling program chooses an allocater that is incompatible with the deallocator in the unit.
