IHostMAlloc::Free Method

Frees memory that was allocated by using the Alloc function.

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.
