SearchPaths() question

[Charles Dye]

SearchPaths() returns a pointer to a filename buffer. Am I supposed to do something to release that buffer once I've read the filename -- free() it or FreeMem() it or something? Or should I just copy the string out and then forget the address?

Having looked at SearchPaths() for the first time ... good question, Charles. I also don't understand

pszAllPaths - if != NULL, keep searching all paths to get all matches.

Is pszAllPaths just a flag? If not what might be put there?

Charles, SearchPaths() is not mentioned in the v17 header file. And it's only exported by TakeCmd.dll as

g:\tc17> dumpbin /exports takecmd.dll | grep SearchPaths
  503  169 0005F1F0 ?SearchPaths@@YG?AV?$CStringT@_WV?$StrTraitATL@_WV?$ChTraitsCRT@_W@ATL@@@ATL@@@ATL@@PB_W0HPAHPA_W@Z

Yeah, I know. This plugin will only load in pre-17 versions. Since it's for TCC/LE only, I'm okay with that.

SearchPaths returns a CAtlString in v17.

pszAllPaths is a pointer to a buffer that returns all matching files in all paths.
