Adding Multitasking Capability to Applications Using Multiprocessing Services

   

MyRemoteProcedure

When calling MPRemoteCall , you must designate an application-defined function to handle any calls to nonreentrant functions (such as Mac OS system software calls). For example, this is how you would declare the application-defined function if you were to name the function MyRemoteProcedure :

void* MyRemoteProcedure (void *parameter);
parameter
A pointer to any information you want to pass to MyRemoteProcedure . For example, parameter might point to a parameter list that MyRemoteProcedure could then pass to a Mac OS system software function.
DISCUSSION

Note that your application-defined function must be PowerPC native code, since Multiprocessing Services tasks cannot call 68K code.

VERSION NOTES

Introduced with Multiprocessing Services 2.0.
