CMediaSample::m_pAllocator member
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Pointer to the allocator that created this sample.
Syntax
CBaseAllocator *m_pAllocator;
Remarks
Although the sample keeps a pointer to the allocator, it does not hold a reference count. Instead, the allocator increments its own reference count in the IMemAllocator::GetBuffer method, and releases itself in the IMemAllocator::ReleaseBuffer method. This guarantees that the allocator will be available as long as another object is using the sample.
