How to free LPTSTR varaibles

[am 2009]

Hi , I am using LPTSTR variables in my code. Is there any need to free memory allocated by this variable to avoid memory leak problems. if so.. then how can we do this. Thanks ABM

Such variable is a pointer. If it points to a heap-allocated buffer then such memory should be eventually released. However it really depends on the context if clean-up is up to you or not. Could you please provide more info about? :)

LPTSTR variables are actually TCHAR* variables and you should work with them just as if you would work with TCHAR*. SO yes, you MUST free the allocated memory

if you allocated the memory dynamically, you must free it. however, only you know if you allocated the memory dynamically, since we don't have your code.
