Allocates a 3D measurement result buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID M3dmeasAllocResult(
AIL_ID SysId, //in
AIL_INT64 ResultType, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag, //in
AIL_ID * Result3dmeasIdPtr //out
)

Description

This function allocates a 3D measurement result buffer on the specified system, to store results obtained from an M3dmeasFindMarker or M3dmeasFit operation.

When the 3D measurement result buffer is no longer required, release it usingM3dmeasFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the 3D measurement result buffer's lifetime and you must not manually free it.

Parameters

SysId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the system on which to allocate the 3D measurement result buffer.

For specifying the system

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 3D measurement result buffer to allocate.

For specifying the type of result to allocate

ValueDescription
M_FIND_MARKER_PATH_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a path 3D measurement result buffer, used to store M3dmeasFindMarker results.
M_FIND_MARKER_PROFILE_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a profile 3D measurement result buffer, used to store M3dmeasFindMarker results.
M_FIND_MARKER_TEMPLATE_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a template 3D measurement result buffer, used to store M3dmeasFindMarker or M3dmeasFit results.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Result3dmeasIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the 3D measurement result buffer identifier or specifies the data type that the function should use to return the 3D measurement 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 measurement result
                          buffer; in this case, a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier of type _AIL_ID_ is returned. |

| M_UNIQUE_ID | Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D measurement result buffer; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_3DMEAS_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 measurement result buffer (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers. | | Address in which to write the path 3D measurement result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated path 3D measurement result buffer.

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

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

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

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the 3D measurement result buffer identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_3DMEAS_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
