Article
02/22/2024

Note You should only call SafeArrayReleaseData if you are implementing a scripting engine that needs to guard against running potentially malicious scripts.

Decreases the pinning reference count for the specified safe array data by one. When that count reaches 0, the memory for that data is no longer prevented from being freed.

Syntax

void SafeArrayReleaseData(
  [in] PVOID pData
);

Parameters

[in] pData

The safe array data for which the pinning reference count should decrease.

Return value

None

Remarks

A call to the SafeArrayReleaseData function should match every previous call to the SafeArrayAddRef function that returned a non-null value in the ppDataToRelease parameter.
