IsBadHugeReadPtr info  Overview  Group

The IsBadHugeReadPtr function verifies that the calling process has read access to the specified range of memory.

BOOL IsBadHugeReadPtr(

    CONST VOID *lp,

// address of memory block

    UINT ucb 

// size of block

   );

Parameters

lp
Points to the first byte of the memory block.
ucb
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the memory block. If this parameter is zero, the return value is zero.

Return Values

If the calling process has read access to all bytes in the specified memory range, the return value is zero.

If the calling process does not have read access to all bytes in the specified memory range, the return value is nonzero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

If the application is compiled as a debugging version, and the process does not have read access to all bytes in the specified memory range, the function causes an assertion and breaks into the debugger. Leaving the debugger, the function continues as usual, and returns a nonzero value This behavior is by design, as a debugging aid.

Remarks

If the calling process has read access to some, but not all, of the bytes in the specified memory range, the return value is nonzero.

In a preemptive multitasking environment, it is possible for some other thread to change the process’s access to the memory being tested. Even when the function indicates that the process has read access to the specified memory, you should use structured exception handling when attempting to access the memory. Use of structured exception handling enables the system to notify the process if an access violation exception occurs, giving the process an opportunity to handle the exception.

IsBadHugeReadPtr is available for compatibility with earlier versions of Windows that distinguish between normal memory allocations and huge allocations occupying multiple segments. In the Win32 API, this function is equivalent to the IsBadReadPtr function.
