IHostMAlloc::Free Method

  • Article

Frees memory that was allocated by using the Alloc function.

Syntax

HRESULT Free (  
    [in] void* pMem  
);

Parameters

pMem
[in] A pointer to the memory to be freed.

Return Value

HRESULT Description
S_OK Free returned successfully.
HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE The common language runtime (CLR) has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.
HOST_E_TIMEOUT The call timed out.
HOST_E_NOT_OWNER The caller does not own the lock.
HOST_E_ABANDONED An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it.
E_FAIL An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. When a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.
HOST_E_INVALIDOPERATION An attempt was made to free memory that was not allocated through the host.

Remarks

If the pMem parameter refers to a region of memory that was not allocated by using a call to Alloc, the host should return HOST_E_INVALIDOPERATION.
