MemHandleUnlock() = unlock, not free
MemHandleFree() = free :P
handles need to be locked in order to reference them as a simple
pointer. you lock a handle using MemHandleLock(). calling
MemHandleUnlock() invalidates the pointer that was previously
obtained via locking. :)
handles consume space, if you allocated a handle using
MemHandleNew() - then, you should clean up after yourself using
MemHandleFree().
if you obtained your handle using DmGet1Resource() or similar,
you cannot free it using MemHandleFree(). you should, by definition
call DmReleaseResource(), however, i believe, if you look at the
source code, you'll see this routine does nothing anyhow :P it
may in future versions of the os.. so, use it :)
i would suggest you take a look at the memory management sections
inside the SDK documentation for more detailed explanations.
