HeapReAlloc failure

[jdoe]

Hi,

I can't find the answer for that "simple" question...

What happen to the original memory block if I call HeapReAlloc and it fails. Does the original block stay unchanged and still exist ?

Per the PSDK:

If HeapReAlloc fails, the original memory is not freed, and the original handle and pointer are still valid.

I would guess that the memory contents would be preserved. I doubt that the function would go about changing the memory before determining if reallocation was possible.

Shame on me. I sticked to the Return value section and forgot the Remarks. I searched the web when the answer was just few lines below where I was first.
