| ## rpc_sm_set_thread_handle(3rpc) Sets a thread handle for the stub memory management environment. Synopsis #include <rpc.h> void rpc_sm_set_thread_handle ( rpc_sm_thread_handle_t id, unsigned32 *status); Parameters Input id Specifies a thread handle returned by a call to rpc_sm_get_thread_handle( ). Output status Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not. Description An application thread calls rpc_sm_set_thread_handle( ) to set a thread handle for memory management within the stub memory management environment. A thread that is managing memory within the stub memory management scheme calls rpc_sm_get_thread_handle( ) to get a thread handle for its current stub memory management environment. A thread that calls rpc_sm_set_thread_handle( ) with this handle is able to use the same memory management environment. When multiple threads call rpc_sm_allocate( ) and rpc_sm_free( ) to manage the same memory, they must share the same thread handle. The thread that established the stub memory management environment calls rpc_sm_get_thread_handle( ) to get a thread handle before spawning new threads that will manage the same memory. The spawned threads then call rpc_sm_set_thread_handle( ) with the handle provided by the parent thread. Application Note: Typically, rpc_sm_set_thread_handle( ) is called by a thread spawned by a server manager routine. Normally the stub sets up the memory management environment for the manager routine and the manager calls rpc_sm_get_thread_handle( ) to get a thread handle. Each spawned thread then calls rpc_sm_get_thread_handle( ) to get access to the manager's memory management environment. A thread may also use rpc_sm_get_thread_handle( ) and rpc_sm_set_thread_handle( ) to save and restore its memory management environment. Return Values None. Errors The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned. Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages. rpc_s_ok Success.
