ElementSize
The ElementSize property is used to specify an element size, in bytes, that depends on the value of another parameter to the function. This property is allowed on Pre and Post attributes and can only be applied to pointer or array data types.
The ElementSize property must be used in conjunction with any one of the following properties:
ValidElements
ValidElementsLength
ValidElementsConst
WritableElements
WritableElementsConst
WritableElementsLength
The value of ElementSize property is a parameter to the function of type size_t. To specify an element size that is constant, use the ElementSizeConst property.
Note
If size_t*count is passed as the size parameter, then ElementSize="*count" is used to specify the property value.
Example
The following code shows the use of another parameter (size_t count) for specifying the size of each element in pc using the ElementSize property:
// C
#include <CodeAnalysis\SourceAnnotations.h>
void f ([SA_Pre(Deref=0, Null=SA_No, ElementSize="count", WritableElementsConst=3)] void *pc, size_t count);
// C++
#include <CodeAnalysis\SourceAnnotations.h>
using namespace vc_attributes;
void f ([Pre(Deref=0, Null=No, ElementSize="count", WritableElementsConst=3)] void *pc, size_t count);
