Retrieves a pointer to the default OLE task memory allocator (which supports the system implementation of the IMalloc interface) so applications can call its methods to manage memory.
Syntax
HRESULT CoGetMalloc(
__in DWORD dwMemContext,
__out LPMALLOC *ppMalloc
);
Parameters
- dwMemContext [in]
-
This parameter must be 1.
- ppMalloc [out]
-
The address of an IMalloc* pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to the memory allocator.
Return Value
This function can return the standard return values S_OK, E_INVALIDARG, and E_OUTOFMEMORY.
Remarks
The pointer to the IMalloc interface pointer received through the ppMalloc parameter cannot be used from a remote process; each process must have its own allocator.
