IHostMalloc Interface

Provides methods that allow the common language runtime (CLR) to request fine-grained allocations from the heap through the host.

Methods

Method	Description
IHostMAlloc::Alloc Method	Requests that the host allocate the requested amount of memory from the heap.
IHostMAlloc::DebugAlloc Method	Requests that the host allocate the requested amount of memory from the heap, and additionally track where the memory was allocated.
IHostMAlloc::Free Method	Frees memory that was allocated by using the Alloc method.

The CLR gets an interface pointer to an IHostMalloc instance by calling the IHostMemoryManager::CreateMalloc method.
