IMallocSpy::PreFree

Called just before invoking IMalloc::Free.

• oid * PreFree(

void * pRequest,	//The pointer is passing to IMalloc::Free
BOOL fSpyed	//TRUE if this memory was allocated while the spy was active

);

Parameters

pRequest

The pointer to the block of memory that the caller is passing to IMalloc::Free.

fSpyed

The value is TRUE if the pRequest parameter of IMallocSpy::PreFree was allocated while the spy was installed. This value is also passed to IMallocSpy::PostFree.

Return Value

The actual pointer to pass to IMalloc::Free.

Comments

If the PreAlloc method modified the original allocation, PreFree needs to compute the actual pointer to be passed to IMalloc::Free. For example, if the PreAlloc/PostAlloc pair attached a header used to store debug information to the beginning of the user's allocation, then PreFree would return a pointer to this header so the true allocation block would be freed.
