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.
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 For the size of the memory block, refer to "7.3.2 Size of Variable-sized memory block".

Note 2 The contents of the block are undefined.

Note 3 The alignment number of memory blocks is 1. To enlarge the alignment number to 4, specify unique section to Section name assigned to the memory pool area (mpl_section) in Variable-sized Memory Pool Information (variable_memorypool[]) and locate the section to 4-bytes boundary address when linking.

Return value

Macro	Value	Description
E_OK	0	Normal completion.
E_PAR	-17	Parameter error. - blksz == 0 - blksz exceeds the maximum size that can be acquired.
E_ID	-18	Invalid ID number. - mplid < 0 - mplid > VTMAX_MPL
E_CTX	-25	Context error. - This service call was issued in the CPU locked state. - This service call was issued in the status "PSW.IPL > kernel interrupt mask level". Note When the ipget_mpl is issued from task or the pget_mpl is issued from non-task, the context error is not detected and normal operation of the system is not guaranteed.
E_TMOUT	-50	Polling failure.
