- UNICODE_STRING storage
- Posted by Alex on March 5th, 2004
If I initialize a UNICODE_STRING like this...
UNICODE_STRING someString;
RtlInitUnicodeString(&someString,L"hello world");
Who owns the storage under UNICODE_STRING for the acctual string?
If it is me, how do I free it?

You.
RtlInitUnicodeString does not allocate any memory. It is:
String->Buffer = Sz;
String->Length = (USHORT)( wcslen(Sz) * sizeof(WCHAR) );
String->MaximumLength = String->Length;
and that's all. Well, possibly MaximumLength is 1 characters longer to contain
the trailing zero.

Just remember that there are no stupid questions, only stupid posters :-)
