This method is called by COM just prior to invoking the IMalloc::DidAllocmethod.

Syntax 

void* PreDidAlloc(
  void* 
pRequest, 
  BOOL 
fSpyed 
);

Parameters

pRequest

[in] Pointer the caller is passing to IMalloc::DidAlloc.

fSpyed

[in] TRUE if the allocation was done while this spy was active, otherwise FALSE.

Return Value

The pointer for which allocation status is determined. This pointer is passed to the IMallocSpy::PostDidAllocmethod as the fActualparameter.

Remarks

When a spy object implementing the IMallocSpyinterface is registered with the CoRegisterMallocSpyfunction, COM calls this method immediately before any call to IMalloc::DidAlloc.

This method is included for completeness and consistency — it is not anticipated that developers will implement significant functionality in this method.

To determine whether the platform supports this interface, see Determining Supported COM APIs.

Requirements

Header objidl.h, objidl.idl
Library ole32.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 3.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
