CBaseInputPin::GetAllocator (Windows CE 5.0)
Retrieves the allocator interface that this input pin identifies as the interface for the output pin to use.
HRESULT GetAllocator(IMemAllocator** ppAllocator);
Parameters
- ppAllocator
Pointer to an obtained IMemAllocator object.
Return Values
Default implementation returns either E_OUTOFMEMORY, if an allocator cannot be created, or NOERROR upon success.
Remarks
This member function implements the IMemInputPin::GetAllocator method, which is called by the connected output pin to retrieve an allocator to use for transporting media samples.
By default, this member function creates a CMemAllocator object and obtains the IMemAllocator interface, to which it adds a reference count for the pin when assigning it to the m_pAllocator data member, and adds another reference count before passing it back to the output pin.
Override this member function if your filter has another allocator, such as one from a downstream pin, or a specialized allocator to offer the connected output pin.
Requirements
DirectShow applications and DirectShow filters have different include file and link library requirements.

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.12 and later. Version 2.12 requires DXPAK 1.0 or later.
