Allocate a 3D image processing result buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID M3dimAllocResult(
AIL_ID SysId, //in
AIL_INT64 ResultType, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag, //in
AIL_ID * Result3dimIdPtr //out
)

Description

This function allocates a 3D image processing result buffer on the specified system to store results obtained from a 3D image processing operation.

When the 3D image processing result buffer is no longer required, release it usingM3dimFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the 3D image processing result buffer's lifetime and you must not manually free it.

Parameters

SysId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the system on which to allocate the result buffer. This parameter should be set to one of the following values:

For specifying the system identifier

ValueDescription
M_DEFAULT_HOSTSpecifies the default Host system of the current Aurora Imaging Library application.
System identifierSpecifies a valid system identifier, previously allocated using MsysAlloc.

ResultType (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies the type of result buffer to allocate. This parameter must be set to one of the following values:

For specifying the type of result buffer to allocate

ValueDescription
M_FIND_TRANSFORMATION_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a 3D image processing result buffer used to store M3dimFindTransformation results.
M_LATTICE_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a 3D image processing result buffer used to store M3dimLattice results.
M_PROFILE_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a 3D image processing result buffer used to store M3dimProfile and M3dimProfileEx results.
M_STATISTICS_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a 3D image processing result buffer used to store M3dimStat results.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Result3dimIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the 3D image processing result buffer identifier or specifies the data type that the function should use to return the 3D image processing result buffer identifier.

For retrieving the identifier or specifying how to return it

ValueDescription
M_NULLSpecifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D image processing result buffer; in this case, a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier of type AIL_ID is returned.
M_UNIQUE_IDSpecifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D image processing result buffer; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_3DIM_ID_is returned instead of a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier.This setting is only available when using C++11 (or later).An Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier manages the lifespan of the Aurora Imaging Library object it owns (similar to a std::unique_ptr). Note, you can use an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier as though it were a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier, except that you cannot use it to manually free the 3D image processing result buffer (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers.
Address in which to write the find transformation 3D image processing result buffer identifierSpecifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated find transformation 3D image processing result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the lattice 3D image processing result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated lattice 3D image processing result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the profile 3D image processing result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated profile 3D image processing result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the statistics 3D image processing result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated statistics 3D image processing result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. |

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the 3D image processing result buffer identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_3DIM_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
