Deallocate a session-duration function descriptor
The session-duration function descriptor has a PER_SESSION memory
duration. The function descriptor remains active until either of the
following events occurs:
- The mi_routine_end() function explicitly releases
the session-duration function descriptor.To explicitly free a session-duration function descriptor, you must free both the function descriptor with mi_routine_end() and the associated PER_SESSION named memory with mi_named_free(), as the following code fragment shows:
/* Free resources for the session-duration function * descriptor */ if ( mi_routine_end(sess_conn, *fdesc) != MI_OK ) { /* Handle error */ ... } mi_named_free("funcptr_blk", PER_SESSION);
- The client application ends the session.
The database server automatically frees memory for the session-duration function descriptor and its PER_SESSION named memory at the end of the session.
