Frees a block of task memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAlloc or CoTaskMemRealloc function.
void CoTaskMemFree(
void pv //Pointer to memory block to be freed
);
The CoTaskMemFree function, using the default OLE allocator, frees a block of memory previously allocated through a call to the CoTaskMemAlloc or CoTaskMemRealloc function.
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.
Note The pv parameter can be NULL, in which case this method has no effect.
Windows CE: Passing into this function any invalid and, under some circumstances, NULL pointers will result in unexpected termination of the application. For more information about handling exceptions, see Programming Considerations.
