Allocate a 3D registration result buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID M3dregAllocResult(
AIL_ID SysId, //in
AIL_INT64 ResultType, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag, //in
AIL_ID * Result3dregIdPtr //out
)

Description

This function allocates a 3D registration result buffer, on the specified system, to store results obtained from a M3dregCalculate operation.

When the result buffer is no longer required, release it usingM3dregFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the 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. Set this parameter to the value below:

For specifying the type of result buffer to allocate

ValueDescription
M_PAIRWISE_REGISTRATION_RESULTSpecifies to allocate a 3D pairwise registration result buffer.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion. This parameter must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Result3dregIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the 3D pairwise registration result buffer identifier or specifies the data type that the function should use to return the 3D pairwise registration 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 pairwise registration 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 pairwise registration result buffer; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_3DREG_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 pairwise registration result buffer (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers.
Address in which to write the identifierSpecifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated 3D pairwise registration result buffer.

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

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the 3D pairwise registration result buffer identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_3DREG_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
