DosSubUnsetMem is used to terminate a memory pool.

Syntax

rc = DosSubUnsetMem( pOffset );

Parameters

PVOID pOffset (input)
This is the offset of the memory pool which we no longer need.

Returns

APIRET rc

The following values can be returned:

  • 0 NO_ERROR
  • 532 ERROR_DOSSUB_CORRUPTED

Usage Explanation

It is used to allow the suballocation function to release resources it used to manage the suballocation of the memory block. All calls to DosSubSetMem should be followed by a call to DosSubUnsetMem. All calls to DosSubUnsetMem must occur before the memory block is freed.

Sample Code

#define INCL_DOSMEMMGR
#include <os2.h>
#include <bsememf.h>

PVOID Offset;     /* Offset of the memory pool which we will terminate. */
APIRET rc;        /* Just to take care of the return code.              */

/* Offset should be set to the offset of the memory pool which we are   */
/* about to terminate.                                                  */

rc = DosSubUnsetMem( Offset);

if (rc != 0)
{
   /* We have an error we must take care of. */
}
