RpcSmSetClientAllocFree

The RpcSmSetClientAllocFree function enables the memory allocation and release mechanisms used by the client stubs.

#include <rpc.h>
RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY RpcSmSetClientAllocFree( 
  RPC_CLIENT_ALLOC  *  pfnAllocate,   
  RPC_CLIENT_FREE  *  pfnFree         
);

Parameters

pfnAllocate
Specifies the routine used to allocate memory.
pfnFree
Specifies the routine used to release memory and used with the routine specified by pfnAllocate.

Remarks

By overriding the default routines used by the client stub to manage memory, the RpcSmSetClientAllocFree routine establishes the memory allocation and memory freeing mechanisms. Note that the default routines are free and malloc, unless the remote call occurs within manager code. In this case, the default memory management routines are RpcSmFree and RpcSmAllocate.

Return Values

Value Meaning
RPC_S_OK Success
RPC_S_OUT_OF_MEMORY Out of memory
