What's wrong with this code? I'm only calling ::HeapFree if I have a valid pointer on which to call it, no? A window message is handled with this code, and I would expect that it is the only window message being processed at this time. If that is not the case, is there a way to "ensure serialized access" at this point? I did not write GetTradeRecords. For example, Java has a "synchronized" block level command that I could just enclose the code below into a code block. if (g_pTrades != NULL) ::HeapFree(hHeap, 0, g_pTrades); BriefUserInfo bui; ::ZeroMemory(&bui, sizeof(bui)); int g_nTrades = 0; std::string str; std::string symbol; g_pTrades = apiPumping.GetTradeRecords(&bui, &g_nTrades); ... if (g_pTrades != NULL) ::HeapFree(hHeap, 0, g_pTrades); //Mental note: Add more debug assertions.
