IHostMalloc Interface
Provides methods that allow the common language runtime (CLR) to request fine-grained allocations from the heap through the host.
Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Alloc Method | Requests that the host allocate the requested amount of memory from the heap. |
| DebugAlloc Method | Requests that the host allocate the requested amount of memory from the heap, and additionally track where the memory was allocated. |
| Free Method | Frees memory that was allocated by using the Alloc method. |
Remarks
The CLR gets an interface pointer to an IHostMalloc instance by calling the IHostMemoryManager::CreateMalloc method.
