Do I need to call DeAllocateLStrHandleArray?

[instrumento]

Compiled a VI as a DLL. One of the outputs is an array of LabVIEW strings. Interface defines the call as:

int32_t __cdecl function(..., LStrHandleArray *X, ...);

and gives me three managing functions

LStrHandleArray __cdecl AllocateLStrHandleArray (int32 elmtCount);
MgErr __cdecl ResizeLStrHandleArray (LStrHandleArray *hdlPtr, int32 elmtCount);
MgErr __cdecl DeAllocateLStrHandleArray (LStrHandleArray *hdlPtr);

 I allocate a LStrHandArray to pass to my function and call the function as

  LStrHandleArray X = AllocateLStrHandleArray(0);
  MgErr error = function(..., &X, ...);

Everything works fine.  Do I need to call?

MgErr error DeAllocateLStrHandleArray (&X);

If I do it returns an error (18438).  Not too worried about not calling it, as the code exits a couple of lines below, but just wondering what it is and how to convert that to an error message.

Hi instrumento,

What environment are you calling the DLL?

If you are calling it in CVI, it may be best to post in LabWindows/CVI forums to get people who work closer to that environment.

I don't have CVI (not even completely sure what that is). 

I'm using the DLL with a simple C++ program compiled with MSVC++ 2015.

I think I'll post there too.  Not sure this forum software has cross posting capabilities, like on Usenet..
