menory allocted by the com port

    Hello ,
    i have an problem with memory , allocated by the com port.
    in an function i send one byte of data to the com port and wait for one byte . but every time i receive on byte . some buffer is allocated . after an while the memory buffer becomes less , so an system error occured.


    this is the funktion , where buffer is allocated :

    Code
    1. int CComPort::ReadBytes(unsigned char *chBufferIn, int count)
    2. {
    3. DWORD bytes;
    4. int bResult=0;
    5. bResult=ReadFile(m_hPort,chBufferIn,count,&bytes,NULL);
    6. if (bResult==0) return 0;
    7. return bytes;
    8. }


    this is the setting of the timeouts:


    Code
    1. COMMTIMEOUTS commi;
    2. commi.ReadIntervalTimeout = 3;
    3. commi.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 100;
    4. commi.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 1;
    5. SetCommTimeouts(m_hPort,&commi);


    where could be an bug ?


    best regards
