heaplock example

[luke77]

I would like to use heaplock and heapunlock.

Does anyone have an example of their use?

Thanks.

What language? There's Microsoft's example.

Not sure what for, or in what language. So I'll assume VC++ and doing nothing else besides lock/unlock...

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

void main()
{
	HANDLE hHeap = GetProcessHeap(); //or HeapCreate
	if(hHeap == 0)
	{
		printf("GetProcessHeap error %d\r\n", GetLastError());
		return;
	}
	if(!HeapLock(hHeap))
	{
		printf("HeapLock error %d\r\n", GetLastError());
		return;
	}

	//do something with it...

	if(!HeapUnlock(hHeap))
	{
		printf("HeapUnlock error %u\r\n", GetLastError());
		return;
	}
}

Edit: looks like Glen9999 beat me to it, and with nicer code too (and it's unicode...) Oh well
