2483.0. "documents for mcc_lib_detach and so on ?" by TAEC::WEBER () Wed Mar 04 1992 16:20

    
    Where are documented the routines
    mcc_lib_detach, mcc_lib_spawn and mcc_lib_xxx in general ?
    These are indicted in the MM progrmaming guide, chapter 17.3
    of November, 1991 ?
    They are not described in SRMs docs.
    Thanks to answer

2483.1New SRM not yet availableTOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033Wed Mar 04 1992 16:409
There are a number of changes that will be documented in the V1.2
SRM, which is not yet available.

However, I'm not sure that these particular routines were intended
for general use, and their inclusion in the manual may have been
an oversight.

2483.2These routines are useful for portable MM'sNANOVX::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamWed Mar 04 1992 17:327
  Yes .. the MMP manual certainly says to use these routines.  By using
  them you can write your MM once for both VMS and Ultrix, as the Kernel
  will do the right thing for you (Operating System dependent).

  I believe these routines must be documented for v1.2 ...

2483.3Not planned for SRMTOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033Thu Mar 05 1992 12:357
The current plan does not include documenting these routines for
the V1.2 SRM, (which means they should be removed from the toolkit
documentation).  DECthreads (CMA) already provides wrapper routines
for these functions, and DECmcc does not plan to provide another
layer for what are basic system routines (rather than management
specific routines).

  Erik,

  If there are common DECthread routines (which work for both VMS and ULTRIX)
  then by all means these are the routines which we should recommend MM
  developers to use...and the Toolkit documentation will be updated to reflect
  this.

  But - what are these routines? and are the identical in form & function for
  both Operating Systems?

    No they are not identical but it is not MCC's job to maintain a
    library of portable OS interface routines.  This would be an
    unbelievable time sink.  The less we make MCC into an operating system
    the more time we can spend on enterprise management better.
