  Title : " Understanding Memory Management in C++: CoTaskMemAlloc and CoTaskMemFree with BSTR Strings " Memory Management, CoTaskMemAlloc, CoTaskMemFree, BSTR, C++, Dynamic Memory Allocation Introduction: Memory management is a crucial aspect of programming in C++. Properly allocating and deallocating memory resources helps ensure that your program runs efficiently and avoids memory leaks. In this blog post, we'll explore the use of CoTaskMemAlloc and CoTaskMemFree , particularly in the context of handling BSTR strings in C++. We will explain these functions, their role in memory management, and provide a code example. Understanding CoTaskMemAlloc and CoTaskMemFree: CoTaskMemAlloc and CoTaskMemFree are memory allocation and deallocation functions provided by the Component Object Model (COM) library. They are commonly used when working with BSTR strings, which are a special type of string used in COM programming. CoTaskMemAlloc : CoTaskMemAlloc is used to allocate mem...
