I've been noticing a memory leak with the following sample code
snippet. Can someone please advise.
Have a C# Winforms app with the following code on a button-click
event.
private void button1_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
IntPtr p1 = new IntPtr(-1);
string inputStr;
AllocString(out p1); //AllocString() called via Interop
string managedStr = Marshal.PtrToSt ringAnsi(p1);
Thread.Sleep(20 );
Marshal.FreeHGl obal(p1);
}
The method AllocString() is defined in a C-DLL as:
CDLL_API void AllocString(cha r** inputStr)
{
int len = 10000000;
char * x = (char *) GlobalAlloc(0, len+1);
memset(x,65,len );
x[l]=0;
*inputStr = x;
}
On launching the application, the steady state private bytes is 10MB.
On clicking the button, I see private bytes increase to 30MB. Why the
additional overhead of 20MB for PtrToStringAnsi ()? And this 20MB is
never freed. Also confirmed that the bytes allocated are in the
unmanaged heap, since the .NET "# Bytes in All Heaps" never
increases.
If I comment the Marshal.PtrToSt ringAnsi() line, private bytes always
comes back to 10MB.
Is this expected behavior for Marshal.PtrToSt ringAnsi() ? (.NET
Framework 1.1) 1 5256

Hello,
I've declared a VB callback Sub which is called by an unmanaged DLL (code
below). The PData parameter is a pointer to a memory bloc which is allocated
and freed by the dll as necessary.
The RequestFunc should read a string pointed by PData, and replace it by
another one. The problem arises when the Sub tries to write the answer :
there is an error when calling Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi. (The RequestFunc is

The following almost works.
The problem is Marshal.PtrToStringAuto seems to terminate at the first null
so I don't get the full string.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Or how to improve the code?
Thanks
PS I added the +1 because as I understand the GetLogicalDriveStrings doc

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
