GetMem2
Reads two bytes from a memory address into an Integer variable.
Syntax: GetMem2 Address , retVal
- Address
- required LongPtr. The address to read from.
- retVal
- required Integer. The variable to receive the value read from Address.
The bytes are interpreted in the host’s native byte order — little-endian on x86 and x64. The address is read directly with no bounds or alignment check.
Common Errors
| Error | When |
|---|---|
94 (&H5E), Invalid use of Null | Address is Null |
Example
This example writes a 16-bit value to a buffer and reads it back with GetMem2.
Dim buf As LongPtr = AllocMem(4)
PutMem2 buf, &H1234
Dim v As Integer
GetMem2 buf, v ' v = &H1234
FreeMem buf
