IMallocSpy::PreRealloc

Called just before invoking IMalloc::Alloc.

ULONG PreRealloc(

void * pRequest,
//The pointer the caller is passing to IMalloc::Realloc
ULONG cbRequest,
//The byte count the caller is passing to IMalloc::Realloc
void ** ppNewRequest,
//Points to the actual pointer to be reallocated
BOOL fSpyed
//Whether the original allocation was "spyed"
);

Parameters

pRequest

The pointer the caller is passing to IMalloc::Realloc.

cbRequest

The byte count the caller is passing to IMalloc::Realloc.

ppNewRequest

[out] Points to the actual pointer to be reallocated. This may be different from the pointer in pRequest if the implementation of IMallocSpy::PreRealloc extends or modifies the reallocation. This is an out pointer and should always be stored by PreRealloc.

fSpyed

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

Return Value

The actual byte count to be passed to IMalloc::Realloc.

Comments

The IMallocSpy::PreRealloc implementation may extend and/or modify the allocation to store debug-specific information with the allocation. Thus, the ppNewRequest parameter may differ from pRequest, which the caller is passing to IMalloc::Realloc.

PreRealloc can force memory allocation failure by returning 0, allowing testing to ensure that the application handles allocation failure gracefully in all cases. In this case PostRealloc is not called and Realloc returns NULL. Forcing allocation failure is effective only if cbRequest is not equal to 0. Note that if PreRealloc is forcing failure by returning NULL, PostRealloc is not called. However, if IMalloc::Realloc encounters a real memory failure and returns NULL, PostRealloc is called.

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 »
