Allocating a DBCOMMANDTREE Structure

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

The following example declares a function PctAllocNode to allocate a new DBCOMMANDTREE structure. An additional example in Setting Up a Condition Subtree uses the function.

DBCOMMANDTREE* PctAllocNode(
  DBOP op,
  DBVALUEKIND eKind,
  ULONG cbValueSize
  )
{
  DBCOMMANDTREE* pct;
  //get the OLE IMalloc interface
  IMalloc* pim;
  HRESULT hr = CoGetMalloc(MEMCTX_TASK, &pim);
  if (FAILED(hr))
    return NULL;
 
  // Allocate fixed size part of the node
  pct = (DBCOMMANDTREE*)pim->Alloc((sizeof DBCOMMANDTREE));
 
  //initialize fields
  pct->op = op;
  pct->pctFirstChild = NULL;
  pct->pctNextSibling = NULL;
  pct->hrError = S_OK;
  pct->dwKind = eKind;
 
  // Allocate variable size part of the node 
  if ( 0 != cbValueSize )
    pct.value.pvValue = (void *) pim->Alloc(cbValueSize);
 
  //Initialize value space
  if (0 != cbValueSize)
    memset(pct->value.pvValue, 0, cbValueSize);
 
  return pct;
}
