CoTaskMemFree

Frees a block of task memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAlloc or CoTaskMemRealloc function.

void CoTaskMemFree(

void pv

//Pointer to memory block to be freed

);

Parameter

pv: [in] Pointer to the memory block to be freed.

Remarks

The CoTaskMemFree function, using the default OLE allocator, frees a block of memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAlloc or CoTaskMemRealloc function.

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 pv is invalid and can no longer be used.

Note The pv parameter can be NULL, in which case this method has no effect.
