Re: Validating a Function Address

What on Earth are you doubting these values for? You're not calculating
them, or something, are you?

What, if the function to call resides in a DLL, and this DLL in the
meantime has been unloaded willingly or due to a crash? With every code
pointer one should at least check with IsBadCodePtr() if the memory at the
given address is executable. Of course, there are lots of other
possibilities for a GPF, but if we can exclude one, why not do it?
