GXValidateAll

You can use the GXValidateAll function to validate all objects that are allocated.

void GXValidateAll(void);

DESCRIPTION

The GXValidateAll function allows you to validate the parameters of all objects that are allocated in the QuickDraw GX heap. It also checks additional structures in the backing store. In addition, this function checks any internal caches built for the objects. If one or more of the parameters are not valid, QuickDraw GX posts a validation error.

This function is not operational in the non-debugging version of QuickDraw GX.

An alternative method of validating all of the objects in the heap is to use the GXSetValidation function with the gxValidationLevel parameter set to the gxPublicValidation plus gxAllObjectValidation options.
