SysReAllocStringLen (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This function creates a BSTR that contains a specified number of characters from an old BSTR, and frees the old BSTR.
Syntax
HRESULT SysReAllocStringLen(
BSTR FAR* pbstr,
OLECHAR FAR* pch,
unsigned int cch
);
Parameters
- pbstr
[out] Pointer to a string.
- pch
[in] Pointer to cch characters to copy, or NULL to keep the string uninitialized.
- cch
[in] Number of characters to copy from pch. A null character is placed afterward, allocating a total of cch+1 characters.
Return Value
Returns an HRESULT value.
Remarks
The SysReAllocStringLen function does the following:
- Allocates a new string
- Copies cch characters from the passed string into it
- Appends a null character
- Frees the BSTR referenced by pbstr
- Resets pbstr to point to the new BSTR
If pch is NULL, a string of length cch is allocated but not initialized.
The pch string can contain embedded null characters and does not need to end with a NULL.
Only Unicode strings are supported.
Passing invalid (and under some circumstances NULL) pointers to this function causes an unexpected termination of the application.
