warning C6510: Invalid annotation: 'NullTerminated' property may only be used on buffers whose elements are of integral or pointer type: Function '<function>' <parameter>.
This warning indicates an incorrect use of the NullTerminated property (those ending in '_z'). You can only use this type of property on pointer or array types.
Example
The following code generates this warning:
#include <sal.h>
void f(_In_z_ char x)
{
// code ...
}
To correct this warning, use the following code:
#include <sal.h>
void f(_In_z_ char * x)
{
// code ...
}
