ExAllocatePoolWithQuota on NT4 and 2000

NTDEV
1

Hi folks,

I’m working with some code that uses ExAllocatePoolWithQuota(NonPagedPool),
and I just want to confirm a behavioral difference for this API between NT4 and
Win2000. The 2000 DDK says that this function will toss an exception if it
fails. The NT4 DDK says it will just return NULL on failure. Does anyone know
for sure that this description for NT4 is accurate?

Sincerely,

IIRC tossing exceptions from ExAllocatexxx is governed by the first parameter which can be ORed with a “generate exception” flag.
