Title: How to best check if HeapAlloc() call was successful?
Post by: Snowman on April 24, 2015, 11:47:51 AM

Hello, I am currently using HeapAlloc() in my program instead of malloc().
I need to check if the memory was correctly allocated. What should I do?

• Check the return value of HeapAlloc()?
• Use Structured Exception Handling (SEH)?
• Use malloc() instead (and check its return value).
