Allocate a blob analysis result buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID MblobAllocResult(
AIL_ID SysId, //in
AIL_INT64 ResultType, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag, //in
AIL_ID * ResultBlobIdPtr //out
)

Description

This function allocates a result buffer that can store blob analysis results.

Each blob creates a separate result entry in the blob analysis result buffer. You can retrieve blob analysis results from a result buffer, using MblobGetResult. To determine the label value of a blob at a specified position, you can call MblobGetLabel.

When the blob analysis result buffer is no longer required, release it usingMblobFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the blob analysis 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.

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)

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

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

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

ResultBlobIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

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

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

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the blob analysis result buffer identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_BLOB_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
