NAME

rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free-sets the memory allocation and freeing mechanisms used by the client stubs

SYNOPSIS

#include <rpc.h>

void rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free(
 	idl_void_p_t (*p_allocate)(
	    unsigned32 size),
 	void (*p_free)(
	    idl_void_p_t ptr),
 	unsigned32 *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

p_allocate

Specifies a memory allocator routine.

p_free

Specifies a memory free routine. This routine is used to free memory allocated with the routine specified by p_allocate.

Output

status

Returns the status code from this routine. The status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully, or if not, why not.

Possible status codes and their meanings include:

rpc_s_ok

Success.

DESCRIPTION

The rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free() routine overrides the default routines that the client stub uses to manage memory.

Note:

The default memory management routines are ISO free() and ISO malloc(), except when the remote call occurs within manager code in which case the default memory management routines are rpc_sm_free() and rpc_sm_allocate().

RETURN VALUE

None.
