Allocates a 3D metrology result buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID M3dmetAllocResult(
    AIL_ID    SysId,            //in
    AIL_INT64 ResultType,       //in

)

Description

This function allocates a 3D metrology result buffer on the specified system, to store results obtained from a 3D metrology operation. You can specify a fit 3D metrology result buffer, for use with M3dmetFit, a statistics 3D metrology result buffer, for use with M3dmetStat, or a calculate 3D metrology result buffer, for use with M3dmetDistanceEx M3dmetFeatureEx, or M3dmetVolumeEx.

When the 3D metrology result buffer is no longer required, release it usingM3dmetFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the 3D metrology 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 metrology result buffer.

For specifying the system

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT_HOST	Specifies the default Host system of the current Aurora Imaging Library application.
System identifier	Specifies a valid system identifier, previously allocated using MsysAlloc.

ResultType (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies the type of 3D metrology result buffer to allocate.

For specifying the type of result to allocate

Value	Description
M_CALCULATE_RESULT	Specifies to allocate a calculate 3D metrology result buffer, used for a M3dmetDistanceEx, M3dmetFeatureEx or M3dmetVolumeEx operation.
M_FIT_RESULT	Specifies to allocate a fit 3D metrology result buffer, used for a M3dmetFit operation.
M_STATISTICS_RESULT	Specifies to allocate a statistics 3D metrology result buffer, used for a M3dmetStat operation.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Result3dmetIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

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

For retrieving the identifier or specifying how to return it

Value	Description
M_NULL	Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D metrology 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 metrology result buffer; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_3DMET_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 metrology result buffer (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers. | | Address in which to write the calculate 3D metrology result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated calculate 3D metrology result buffer.

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

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

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

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the 3D metrology result buffer identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_3DMET_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
