Remote Call Context Option Constants

When making a remote call to an application-defined function using MPRemoteCall , you must pass a constant of type MPRemoteContext in the context parameter specifying which contexts are allowed to execute the function.



 
enum {

    kMPAnyRemoteContext             = 0,

    kMPOwningProcessRemoteContext   = 1

};

typedef UInt8 MPRemoteContext;

Constant Descriptions

kMPAnyRemoteContext: Any cooperative context can execute the function. Note that the called function may not have access to any of the owning context's process-specific low-memory values.
kMPOwningProcessRemoteContext: Only the context that owns the task can execute the function.
