... as you can verify by this:

So, like I said, if you design the EXE and the DLL to use the same MSVCRT DLL, then they will use the same heap and you can call new/delete with impunity.

If you don't, well, you are sad panda.

It's not on youtube yet, no spoilers please!

EDIT: Anyway, hahhahah!

yeah, sorry for the "non-question" : D

It was one of those things where the second I saw the msdn docs (and this post from Raymond Chen), the whole idea instantly became completely obvious.

To me that explanation was shocking.
During my C course nobody talked about the C Runtime Library.
As a consequence i always thought that new, malloc and variants were exactly the same as virtualalloc.
I understand now that i rely heavily on the CRT, understand what it is and what it does for me.

Thank you for that clarification!
