HeapDestroy info  Overview  Group

The HeapDestroy function destroys the specified heap object. HeapDestroy decommits and releases all the pages of a private heap object, and it invalidates the handle of the heap.

BOOL HeapDestroy(

HANDLE hHeap	// handle to the heap
);

Parameters

hHeap

Specifies the heap to be destroyed. This parameter should be a heap handle returned by the HeapCreate function. A heap handle returned by the GetProcessHeap function should not be used.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Processes can call HeapDestroy without first calling the HeapFree function to free memory allocated from the heap.
