There's a programming axiom that says that you should always free
memory in
the same function that allocates it. Following that I'd advise that
you to
allocate the memory in the creating task and pass it to the MP thread
Yes, I always try and do that, but it's not always possible when you
take old software into consideration. I'm trying to write a plug-in
that uses an older host application and unfortunately I therefore
bound by the way it's structured.
instead;
Is it ok to use malloc() and just pass the buffer back via a Global?
NO. ;-)
So, what method would you recommend instead?
All the Best
