- str = SysAllocStringLen(NULL, 1023);
- newstr = SysAllocStringLen(NULL, 1023);
Where this length comes from? Well, I tested String on windows xp, and found that 1023 was the limit, when given a number bigger than that, the output kept the length of 1023.
- switch(V_VT(arg + 1)) {
- case VT_NULL:
return MAKE_VBSERROR(VBSE_ILLEGAL_NULL_USE);
- case VT_BSTR:
str = V_BSTR(arg + 1);
break;
- case VT_ARRAY|VT_BYREF|VT_VARIANT:
return DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH;
- default:
hres = to_short(arg + 1, &tmp);
if(FAILED(hres))
return hres;
str[0] = (char)tmp;
break;
- }
You only need first character, right? Then why do you need a full BSTR pointer in VT_BSTR case? And assigning it to 'str' you leak a previously allocated buffer.
So how do I get the first character of (arg + 1)? How about this: str[0] = * V_BSTR(arg + 1) In fact I don't quite understand how SysAllocStringLen work, but I see it is used in the former function, so I think maybe it is necessary.
Why cast to (char)tmp?
I think the type of str[0] is WCHAR, and tmp is an integer, shouldn't we make a cast?
- else if(len == 0)
newstr = '\0';
Same way you're losing pointer to allocated buffer.
