NAME

rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free — Sets the memory allocation and freeing mechanisms used by the client stubs

Synopsis

void rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free(
      idl_void_p_t (∗p_allocate) (
      unsigned long size),
      void (∗p_free) (
      idl_void_p_t ptr),
      unsigned32 ∗status);

Parameters

Input

p_allocateSpecifies a memory allocator routine. 

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

Output

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

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

Return Values

None.
