- ; MODULE NAME: EMM16_C.ASM ;
- ; ;
- ; FUNCTION NAME: get_partial_context_size ;
- ; ;
- ; DESCRIPTION: This function returns the storage requirements for the ;
- ; structure passed by the get_partial_context and ;
- ; set_partial_context functions. Use this function when ;
- ; you want to dynamically allocate this space. This ;
- ; function doesn't require an EMM handle. ;
- ; ;
- ; PASSED: pcl.mappable_region_count: ;
- ; is the number of pages in the partial map to be ;
- ; saved by the get_partial_context & ;
- ; set_partial_context functions. This number should ;
- ; be the same as the mappable_region_count structure ;
- ; member in the get_partial_context function. ;
- ; ;
- ; &partial_context_size: ;
- ; is a far pointer to the size of the mapping context ;
- ; structure. ;
- ; ;
- ; RETURNED: status: ;
- ; is the status EMM returns from the call. All other ;
- ; returned results are valid only if the status ;
- ; returned is zero. Otherwise they are undefined. ;
- ; ;
- ; partial_context_size: ;
- ; is the number of bytes that will be transferred to ;
- ; the application's dest_context area whenever a ;
- ; program requests the get_partial_context function. ;
- ; ;
- ; Normally, you just supply a CONTEXT_STRUCT structure ;
- ; which contains an array of the largest space ;
- ; possible (currently 255 bytes). However, if you ;
- ; want to dynamically allocate the exact amount of ;
- ; space required to save a context, use this ;
- ; function to get the size needed (see example below). ;
- ; ;
- ; The size of the dest_context depends on the expanded ;
- ; memory system configuration and the implementation ;
- ; of the expanded memory manager. Therefore, it will ;
- ; vary between hardware configurations and memory ;
- ; manager implementations. ;
- ; ;
- ; C USE CONVENTION: unsigned int status; ;
- ; unsigned int partial_context_size; ;
- ; PARTIAL_CONTEXT_LIST_STRUCT pcl [MAX_MAPPABLE_REGIONS]; ;
- ; void *context; ;
- ; ;
- ; pcl.mappable_region_count = 2; ;
- ; status = get_partial_context_size ;
- ; (pcl.mappable_region_count, ;
- ; &partial_context_size); ;
- ; if (status == PASSED) ;
- ; { ;
- ; context = malloc (partial_context_size); ;
- ; if (context == NULL) ;
- ; /* error condition (no memory to allocate) */ ;
- ; else ;
- ; { ;
- ; status = get_partial_context ;
- ; ((CONTEXT_STRUCT *) context); ;
- ; if (status == PASSED) ;
- ; printf ("context saved\n"); ;
- ; else ;
- ; /* error condition */ ;
- ; } ;
- ; } ;
- ; else ;
- ; /* error condition */ ;
