- Hi, sorry if these questions are a FAQ but here goes:
-
- - is there a real advantage to using MoveHHi before locking your
- handles, I have not really seen much on that except that Think Reference
- suggests that is *may* help in reducing heap fragmentation. Are there
- any definite rules for using MoveHHi and caveat.
-
- - Also when passing parameters in C is it better to use pointers or
- handles. I guess the answer is really along the lines of it depends
- on what you do with them afterwards, ie do you lock them, do you need to
- allocate new memory, etc. Does anyone have any guidelines for this.
-
- If there is interest, I wil post back a summary.
