Enable heap validation on call

The Enable heap validation on call flag validates the entire heap each time a heap function is called.

Abbreviation hvc
Hexadecimal value 0x80
Symbolic Name FLG_HEAP_VALIDATE_ALL
Destination System-wide registry entry, kernel flag, image file registry entry

Comments

To avoid the high overhead associated with this flag, use the HeapValidate function instead of setting this flag, especially at critical junctures, such as when the heap is destroyed. However, this flag is useful for detecting random corruption in a pool.
