Does AllocMem() give error messages?

[vefatica]

Should I

if ( (pInfo = (PIP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES) AllocMem(dwInfoSize)) == NULL )
{
    error(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY, NULL);
    return 0;
}

or can I rely on AllocMem() to generate an error message?

AllocMem does not return error messages, just a null if it can't allocate
memory. (If it can't, your system is probably toast anyway, as all of the
virtual memory will have been eaten.)
