They are effectively the same. However malloc is in the C runtime libraries, so if you use it your application has to link in the C runtime. HeapAlloc is defined in kernel32.dll, so if you want to reduce the code size of your application you can avoid linking to the C runtime and use HeapAlloc to allocate memory.
Using HeapAlloc may make your code less portable if that is a concern for you.
I hope this helps.

Every process creates a default process heap.
This is the heap used by malloc/new/...
Aside from using the process heap, malloc/new/... (can) add other optimization features such as lookaside lists, small-block heaps, ...
HeapAlloc is the low level way to alloc a block of memory on a heap.
Some people will create a number of heaps within a program, each designed to hold a specific type of data or a specific group of data. This can help reduce heap fragmentation and speed up parts of some applications.
I use separate heaps for different types of data (e.g. all string buffers in one heap, all blobs in another, ...).
I use separate heaps for different groups of data (e.g. all database column data in one heap, all network packets in another, ...).
This just touches on the subject.
In the end it provides the developer with just another tool.

I have tried so many times to create a new report using crystal report 11 by incorporating a template with vc++. I didnot find any article or sample code which is written in c++. But after some effort I got to know that there is a function called put_ReportTemplate() which is used for this task. I already know how to create a new report without using a template.
If anybody can help me by supplying a vc++ code, it will greatly appreciated.

hello sir!!i am new to MFC programming and i am developing an FTP client. the code is as shown below. i call the same code when i first connect to the FTP server and the code does the directory listing successfully. but when i call the same code to refresh the directory listing, the code fails.. just see where i am doing the mistake..
//delete all items in the listCtrl
m_cListDir.DeleteAllItems();
try
{ CString pStrptr;
CString str;
BOOL nRC = pConnect->GetCurrentDirectory(pStrptr);
pStrptr.Format("%s is the current directory", pStrptr);
MessageBox(pStrptr, " Info", MB_OK);
// use a file find object to enumerate files
CFtpFileFind finder1(pConnect);
pConnect->SetCurrentDirectory(pStrptr);
BOOL bWorking = finder1.FindFile( _T("*"));
if(bWorking)
{
int i = 0;
CString str;
CTime time;
while (bWorking)
{
bWorking = finder1.FindNextFile();
//display the file name, file size and last modified in a listctrl box
str.Format("%u byte(s)",finder1.GetLength());
m_cListDir.InsertItem (i,((LPCTSTR) finder1.GetFileTitle()));
m_cListDir.SetItemText(i,1,(LPCSTR)str);
finder1.GetLastAccessTime(time);
str.Format("%d-%d-%d",time.GetDay(),time.GetMonth(), time.GetYear());
m_cListDir.SetItemText(i++,2,(LPCSTR)str);
}
}
else
{
CString str;
MessageBox("'/' is empty", "Info", MB_ICONINFORMATION);
str.Format("Error : %s", GetLastError());
MessageBox(str, "Error",MB_ICONERROR);
}
}
catch (CException* pEx)
{
TCHAR sz[1024];
pEx->GetErrorMessage(sz, 1024);
MessageBox("Cannot retrive the server drive information","ERROR!",MB_ICONERROR);
pEx->Delete();
}

Which means what exactly? Set a breakpoint in your code and narrow the problem down to just a few statements.

I am looking for the most basic example of word automation. I have looked at all of them on this webiste and they are all too complex for me. All I need is couple of lines of code (no interface at all) on how to create a completely blank word file with the path specified by me (like c:\\myfile.doc). How can I do that??
Thanks in advance!

Q178784: HOWTO: Use Automation to Open and Print a Word 97 Document
Old articles, but easiest way. Searching for automate brings nice examples as well.

It, along with a .cpp file, is created by ClassWizard when you import the type library.

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but I'm just curious why you'd repeat what _AnShUmAn_ did but to another site?

As it happens I have just created a set of classes which is able to read Excel files without MFC, COM or even having to have excel stored on the machine. I found it to be some 1000% faster than convensional means.
I will make it public just as soon as I find the time to write a CP article. In the meantime if anybody is interested drop me a message.

I have a view derived from CListView.
In a button handler i wrote
CListCtrl &listCtl=GetListCtrl();<br />
for(int j =0 ;j<4;j++)<br />
listCtl.SetItemText(i,j,arr->GetAt(j))
arr is a CStrinArray. GetAt is returning the string right. and value of i is 1. And i have set 4 coulumns for the ListView.
But the SetItemText is always returning 0.
Can you please show me the reason.
Thank you
