CoTaskMemFree function (combaseapi.h)
Frees a block of task memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAlloc or CoTaskMemRealloc function.
Syntax
void CoTaskMemFree(
[in, optional] _Frees_ptr_opt_ LPVOID pv
);
Parameters
[in, optional] pv
A pointer to the memory block to be freed. If this parameter is NULL, the function has no effect.
Return value
None
Remarks
The CoTaskMemFree function uses the default OLE allocator.
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.
