SomUnregisterClass

This method removes a class object from the SOM run-time class registry.

Note: For backward compatibility, this method does not take an Environment parameter.


 * Original Class : SOMClassMgr

Syntax
long somUnregisterClass (SOMClassMgr receiver, SOMClass class)

Parameters

 * receiver (SOMClassMgr) : Usually SOMClassMgrObject (or a pointer to an instance of a user-supplied subclass of SOMClassMgr).


 * class (SOMClass) : A pointer to the class to be unregistered.

Return Code

 * rc (long) : The somUnregisterClass method returns 0 for a successful completion, or non-zero to denote failure.

Remarks
The somUnregisterClass method unregisters a SOM class and frees the class object. If the class was dynamically loaded, it is also unloaded using somUnloadClassFile (which causes its entire affinity group to be unloaded as well).

Example Code

 * 1) include 

void main {   long rc;  /* Return code */ SOMClass animalClass;

/* The next 2 lines declare a static form of somId */ string animalClassName = "Animal"; somId animalId = &animalClassName;

somEnvironmentNew ; animalClass = SOMClassMgr_somFindClass (SOMClassMgrObject,                                               animalId, 0, 0); if (!animalClass) { somPrintf ("Could not load class.\n"); return; }   rc = SOMClassMgr_somUnregisterClass (SOMClassMgrObject,                                                   animalClass); if (rc) somPrintf ("Could not unregister class, error code: %ld.\n",                                                               rc); else somPrintf ("Class successfully unloaded.\n"); }
