The latter three are for RPC / interop / automation scenarios, simplifying the programming model for things like Visual Basic. HeapAlloc (and legacy routines GlobalAlloc and LocalAlloc which wrap it) is mostly a relic of 16-bit Windows. VirtualAlloc is the one that matters for language runtimes on Windows since Win32 API in the 90s, and it's designed to allocate slabs which are suballocated by more sophisticated code. |
