Windows Driver Kit DDI reference (nf-ntintsafe-rtlptrdifftsub)

RtlPtrdiffTSub function

Description

Subtracts one value of type PTRDIFF_T from another.

Parameters

`Minuend` [in]

The value from which Subtrahend is subtracted.

`Subtrahend` [in]

The value to subtract from Minuend.

`pResult` [out]

A pointer to the result. If the operation results in a value that overflows or underflows the capacity of the type, the function returns STATUS_INTEGER_OVERFLOW and this parameter is not valid.

Return value

Returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the operation is successful.

See the implementation of this helper function in ntintsafe.h in the WDK for possible error return values.

Remarks

This is one of a set of inline functions designed to provide arithmetic operations and perform validity checks with minimal impact on performance.
