SAL annotation for output parameter that receives number of elements written to buffer

92 views Asked by At

With a called function MyFn that allocates memory:

Error MyFn(_Outptr_result_maybenull_ OBJ** const objs,
           _Out_ unsigned int* const numObjs) {
    ...
}

int main(void) {
    OBJ* objs = NULL;
    unsigned int numObjs = 0;
    MyFn(&objs, &numObjs);
    if (objs != NULL) {
        for (int i = 0; i < numObjs; i++) {
            OBJ* obj = objs[i]; // Reading invalid data from objs.
        }
    } 
}

Is it possible to annotate numObjs as the number of OBJ* written to objs so that SAL doesn't warn me that I'm potentially reading invalid data while iterating?
