IMallocSpy::PreGetSize

Called just prior to invoking IMalloc::GetSize.

  • oid * PreGetSize(

void * pRequest,
//Pointer the caller is passing to IMalloc::GetSize
BOOL fSpyed
//TRUE if allocation done while this spy was active
);

Parameters

pRequest

The pointer the caller is passing to IMalloc::GetSize

fSpyed

TRUE if the allocation was done while the spy was active.

Return Value

Pointer to the actual allocation for which the size is to be determined.

Comments

The PreGetSize method receives as its pRequest parameter the pointer the caller is passing to IMalloc::GetSize. It must then return a pointer to the actual allocation, which is then passed to PostGetSize as the pRequest parameter.

The size determined by IMalloc::GetSize is then passed to IMallocSpy::PostGetSize as cbActual.

Note The size determined by IMalloc::GetSize is the value returned by the Win32 API HeapSize. On Windows NT, this is the size originally requested. On Windows95, memory allocations are done on eight-byte boundaries. For example, a memory allocation request of 27 bytes on Windows NT would return an allocation of 32 bytes and GetSize would return 27. On Windows95, the same request would return an allocation of 28 bytes and GetSize would return 28. Implementors of IMallocSpy::PostGetSize cannot assume, for example, that if cbActual is sizeof(debug_header), that the value is the actual size of the user's allocation.

Nostalgia .Net     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 »
