Traverses the heap and returns information about the next entry.

Important

This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime except in Debug builds. For more information, see CRT functions not supported in Universal Windows Platform apps.

Syntax

int _heapwalk( _HEAPINFO *entryinfo );

Parameters

entryinfo
Buffer to contain heap information.

Return value

_heapwalk returns one of the following integer manifest constants defined in Malloc.h.

Return value	Meaning
`_HEAPBADBEGIN`	Initial header information invalid or not found.
`_HEAPBADNODE`	Heap damaged or bad node found.
`_HEAPBADPTR`	The `_pentry` field of the `_HEAPINFO` structure doesn't contain a valid pointer into the heap or `entryinfo` is a null pointer.
`_HEAPEND`	End of the heap reached successfully.
`_HEAPEMPTY`	Heap not initialized.
`_HEAPOK`	No errors so far; `entryinfo` is updated with information about the next heap entry.

In addition, if an error occurs, _heapwalk sets errno to ENOSYS.

Remarks

The _heapwalk function helps debug heap-related problems in programs. The function walks through the heap, traversing one entry per call, and returns a pointer to a structure of type _HEAPINFO that contains information about the next heap entry. The _HEAPINFO type, defined in Malloc.h, contains the following elements.

Field	Meaning
`int *_pentry`	Heap entry pointer.
`size_t _size`	Size of the heap entry.
`int _useflag`	Flag that indicates whether the heap entry is in use.

A call to _heapwalk that returns _HEAPOK stores the size of the entry in the _size field and sets the _useflag field to either _FREEENTRY or _USEDENTRY (both are constants defined in Malloc.h). To obtain this information about the first entry in the heap, pass _heapwalk a pointer to a _HEAPINFO structure whose _pentry member is NULL. If the operating system doesn't support _heapwalk, the function returns _HEAPEND and sets errno to ENOSYS.

This function validates its parameter. If entryinfo is a null pointer, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter validation. If execution is allowed to continue, errno is set to EINVAL and the function returns _HEAPBADPTR.

Requirements

Routine	Required header	Optional header
`_heapwalk`	<malloc.h>	<errno.h>

Example

// crt_heapwalk.c

// This program "walks" the heap, starting
// at the beginning (_pentry = NULL). It prints out each
// heap entry's use, location, and size. It also prints
// out information about the overall state of the heap as
// soon as _heapwalk returns a value other than _HEAPOK
// or if the loop has iterated 100 times.
