CoTaskMemRealloc
Changes the size of a previously allocated block of task memory.
LPVOID CoTaskMemRealloc(
LPVOID pv,
| //Points to memory block to be reallocated
| ULONG cb
| //Size in bytes of block to be reallocated
| );
|
|
Parameters
pv
Points to the memory block to be reallocated. It can be a NULL pointer, as
discussed in the Comments.
cb
Specifies the size in bytes of the memory block to be reallocated. It can be
zero, as discussed in the following remarks.
Return Values
Reallocated memory block
Indicates memory block successfully reallocated.
NULL
Indicates insufficient memory or cb is zero and pv is not NULL.
Comments
The CoTaskMemRealloc function changes the size of a previously allocated memory block in the same
way that IMalloc::Realloc does. It is not necessary to call the CoGetMalloc function to get a pointer to the OLE allocator before calling CoTaskMemRealloc.
The pv argument points to the beginning of the memory block. If pv is NULL, CoTaskMemRealloc allocates a new memory block in the same way as the CoTaskMemAlloc function. If pv is not NULL, it should be a pointer returned by a prior call to CoTaskMemAlloc.
The cb argument specifies the size (in bytes) of the new block. The contents of the
block are unchanged up to the shorter of the new and old sizes, although the
new block can be in a different location. Because the new block can be in a
different memory location, the pointer returned by CoTaskMemRealloc is not guaranteed to be the pointer passed through the pv argument. If pv is not NULL and cb is zero, then the memory pointed to by pv is freed.
CoTaskMemRealloc returns a void pointer to the reallocated (and possibly moved) memory block.
The return value is NULL if the size is zero and the buffer argument is not
NULL, or if there is not enough memory available to expand the block to the given
size. In the first case, the original block is freed; in the second, the
original block is unchanged.
The storage space pointed to by the return value is guaranteed to be suitably
aligned for storage of any type of object. To get a pointer to a type other
than void, use a type cast on the return value.

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 » |
