This function frees a block of task memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAllocor CoTaskMemReallocfunction.
void CoTaskMemFree( void pv );
Parameter
- pv
- [in] Void pointer to the memory block to be freed.
Return Values
None.
Remarks
The CoTaskMemFreefunction, using the default OLE allocator, frees a block of memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAllocor CoTaskMemReallocfunction.
The number of bytes freed equals the number of bytes that were originally allocated or reallocated. After the call, the memory block pointed to by pvis invalid and can no longer be used.
The pvparameter can be NULL, in which case this method has no effect.
Passing into this function any invalid and, under some circumstances, NULL pointers result in unexpected termination of the application.
