CoTaskMemAlloc
Allocates a block of task memory in the same way that IMalloc::Alloc does.
LPVOID CoTaskMemAlloc(
ULONG cb
| //Size in bytes of memory block to be allocated
| );
|
|
Parameter
cb
Specifies the size (in bytes) of the memory block to be allocated.
Return Values
Allocated memory block
Indicates memory block allocated successfully.
NULL
Indicates insufficient memory available.
Comments
The CoTaskMemAlloc function uses the default allocator to allocate a memory block in the same
way that IMalloc::Alloc does. It is not necessary to call the CoGetMalloc function before calling CoTaskMemAlloc.
The initial contents of the returned memory block are undefined  there is no guarantee that the block has been initialized. The allocated block
may be larger than cb bytes because of the space required for alignment and for maintenance
information.
If cb is zero, CoTaskMemAlloc allocates a zero-length item and returns a valid pointer to that item. If
there is insufficient memory available, CoTaskMemAlloc returns NULL.
Note Applications should always check the return value from this method, even
when requesting small amounts of memory, because there is no guarantee the memory
will be allocated.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
