AfxSetAllocHook

AFX_ALLOC_HOOK AfxSetAllocHook( AFX_ALLOC_HOOK pfnAllocHook );

Return Value

Nonzero if you want to permit the allocation; otherwise 0.

Parameters

pfnAllocHook

Specifies the name of the function to call. See the Remarks for the prototype of an allocation function.

Remarks

Sets a hook that enables calling of the specified function before each memory block is allocated. The Microsoft Foundation Class Library debug-memory allocator can call a user-defined hook function to allow the user to monitor a memory allocation and to control whether the allocation is permitted. Allocation hook functions are prototyped as follows:

BOOL AFXAPI AllocHook( size_t nSize, BOOL bObject, LONG lRequestNumber );

nSize

The size of the proposed memory allocation.

bObject

TRUE if the allocation is for a CObject-derived object; otherwise FALSE.

lRequestNumber

The memory allocation’s sequence number.

Note that the AFXAPI calling convention implies that the callee must remove the parameters from the stack.
