Best way to handle memory access?

bruder_s · 17th September 2008, 18:39

I guess I found the error.

But my questions remain:

Is it recommendable to use stuff like HeapCreate/HeapAlloc instead of malloc?
Can winamp or other plugins corrupt the memory area of my plugin (I guess winamp can, other DLLs can't or shouldn't) - are there differences XP/Vista?
Any hints how to debug stuff like this better (this one was just luck while looking at the code I guess)?

Regards, Christian
