McolAllocResult

This function allocates a result buffer, on the specified system, to store the results from an McolMatch() operation. You can read the results from the result buffer, using McolGetResult(). When the result buffer is no longer required, release its memory, using McolFree().

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see if there is complementary information.

Parameters

This function is not supported on the selected boards.

Parameters

SystemId INQ

Specifies the system on which to allocate the result buffer. This parameter should be set to one of the following values:

For specifying the system identifier
Value	Description
M_DEFAULT_HOST	Specifies the default Host system of the current MIL application.
MIL system identifier	Specifies a valid system identifier, previously allocated using MsysAlloc().

ResultType

Specifies the type of result buffer to allocate. This parameter can be set to one of the following values:

For specifying the type of result buffer to allocate
Value	Description
M_DEFAULT	Same as M_COLOR_MATCHING_RESULT.
M_COLOR_MATCHING_RESULT	Specifies to allocate a result buffer for color matching results.

ControlFlag

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

ResultIdPtr

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the color matching result identifier. If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned as the identifier. Since McolAllocResult() also returns the color matching result identifier, you can set this parameter to M_NULL.

Return value

The returned value is the result buffer identifier if the allocation is successful. If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned.
