a question about IcmpCreateFile

Question

Please tell me two things about the Win32 API IcmpCreateFile() or Icmp6CreateFile().

(1)
Please tell me about the conditions under which this API is ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.

On one site,
When it failed due to a INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE error, it checked whether it was ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (GetLastError()).
Are I sometimes constrained by user rights, security settings, policies, etc.?

(2)
Memory leak issues have been reported in the past.
Has this been fixed?

see:
KB 2384321
You may see memory leak when running ICMP multithread application on post-Vista OS

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Yes and ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is a general error, it should be relative to permission.
I have tested IcmpCreateFile and there is no problem about the function.

Thank you.
