Outline

Acquire variable-sized memory block (polling).

C format

 ER      pget_mpl (ID mplid, UINT blksz, VP *p_blk);

 ER      ipget_mpl (ID mplid, UINT blksz, VP *p_blk);

Parameter(s)

I/O	Parameter	Description
I	ID mplid;	ID number of the variable-sized memory pool from which a memory block is acquired.
I	UINT blksz;	Memory block size to be acquired (in bytes).
O	VP *p_blk;	Start address of the acquired memory block.

Explanation

This service call acquires a variable-size memory block of the size specified by parameter blksz from the variable-size memory pool specified by parameter mplid, and stores its start address into the area specified by parameter p_blk.

If no variable-size memory blocks could be acquired from the target variable-size memory pool (no successive areas equivalent to the requested size were available) when this service call is issued, this service call does not acquire variable-size memory block but returns E_TMOUT.

Note 1 The RI850V4 acquires variable-size memory blocks in the unit of "integral multiple of 4". If a value other than an integral multiple of 4 is specified for parameter blksz, it is rounded up to be an integral multiple of 4.

Note 2 If no variable-size memory blocks could be acquired from the target variable-size memory pool (no successive areas equivalent to the requested size were available) when this service call is issued, the contents in the area specified by parameter p_blk become undefined.

Return value

Macro	Value	Description
E_OK	0	Normal completion.
E_PAR	-17	Parameter error. - blksz = 0x0 - blksz > 0x7fffffff
E_ID	-18	Invalid ID number. - mplid < 0x0 - mplid > Maximum ID number
E_CTX	-25	Context error. - This service call was issued in the CPU locked state.
E_NOEXS	-42	Non-existent object. - Specified variable-sized memory pool is not registered.
E_TMOUT	-50	Polling failure. - No successive areas equivalent to the requested size were available in the target variable-size memory pool.
