The Enable heap validation on call flag validates the entire heap each time a heap function is called.
Abbreviation | hvc |
Hexadecimal value | 0x80 |
Symbolic Name | FLG_HEAP_VALIDATE_ALL |
Destination | System-wide registry entry, kernel flag, image file registry entry |
To avoid the high overhead associated with this flag, use the HeapValidate function instead of setting this flag, especially at critical junctures, such as when the heap is destroyed. However, this flag is useful for detecting random corruption in a pool.
