When allocating a new BSTR with SysAllocString via a wchar_t* on the heap, should I then free the original wchar_t* on the heap?
So is this the right way?
wchar_t *hs = new wchar_t[20];
// load some wchar's into hs...
BSTR bs = SysAllocString(hs);
delete[] hs;
Am I supposed to call delete here to free up the memory? Or was that memory just adoped by the BSTR?
