<p>The Qp2CallPase() and Qp2CallPase2 functions call a procedure in an i5/OS
|
|
Portable Application Solutions Environment (i5/OS PASE) program in a job that
|
|
is already running the i5/OS PASE program.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong>target</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input) Pointer to a function descriptor for the procedure (in the i5/OS
|
|
PASE program) to call. The format and contents of a function descriptor are
|
|
specified by the PowerPC Application Binary Interface (ABI) for AIX. A function
|
|
descriptor contains three i5/OS PASE addresses (not MI pointers) that point to
|
|
the executable instructions, table of contents (TOC), and environment for the
|
|
target procedure.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>arglist</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input) Pointer to the argument list for the i5/OS PASE procedure. The
|
|
format and contents of a PASE argument list generally are specified by the
|
|
PowerPC ABI for AIX. The specific argument list structure for the i5/OS PASE
|
|
procedure identified by the target parameter is determined by the list of
|
|
argument data types specified by the signature parameter.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>signature</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input) Pointer to an array of values that specify the sequence and type of
|
|
arguments passed to the i5/OS PASE procedure. Each element in the array is
|
|
either a special value defined in header file qp2user.h or a positive number
|
|
that is the length in bytes of a structure or union argument passed by value.
|
|
The last value in the array must be QP2_ARG_END. Header file qp2user.h defines
|
|
the following constants for the data types supported as arguments for an i5/OS
|
|
PASE procedure:<br>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Qp2CallPase and Qp2CallPase2 are supported only when an i5/OS PASE program
|
|
is currently running in the job. This means that Qp2RunPase must be running
|
|
actively in the job, or the job must be a fork child process.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>You can run Qp2CallPase and Qp2CallPase2 only in the initial thread that started the i5/OS
|
|
PASE program or in a thread created using i5/OS PASE pthread interfaces, unless i5/OS PASE
|
|
environment variable PASE_THREAD_ATTACH was set to Y when a thread-enabled
|
|
i5/OS PASE program was started.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Once an ILE thread has attached to i5/OS PASE (by calling an i5/OS PASE procedure), that thread
|
|
is subject to asynchronous interruption for i5/OS PASE functions such as signal
|
|
handling and thread cancellation. In particular, the thread will be canceled as
|
|
part of ending the i5/OS PASE program (when <strong>exit</strong> runs or
|
|
i5/OS PASE processing terminates for a signal).<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>An i5/OS PASE procedure called by Qp2CallPase or Qp2CallPase2 must return
|
|
to its caller. Unpredictable results occur if the i5/OS PASE procedure
|
|
attempts to longjmp to an older call or if it performs an operation that
|
|
terminates the thread or process (such as calling the exit function). If a
|
|
signal handler is on the i5/OS PASE stack when Qp2CallPase or Qp2CallPase2 is
|
|
called, the called i5/OS PASE procedure must also honor restrictions on
|
|
runtime functions allowed in signal handlers (see AIX signal handling
|
|
documentation for details).<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A pointer to any function in an i5/OS PASE program is really a pointer to
|
|
a function descriptor for the procedure. An i5/OS PASE program can easily
|
|
provide a function descriptor to ILE code by passing an i5/OS PASE function
|
|
pointer value converted to an ILE memory address. The conversion can be done
|
|
using the _SETSPP function or the ARG_MEMPTR argument type on the _ILECALLX or
|
|
_ILECALL function.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Qp2CallPase and Qp2CallPase2 support arguments and results passed by-address through
|
|
the use of QP2_ARG_PTR32 or QP2_ARG_PTR64 values in the signature array and positive
|
|
numbers for the result_type and/or bufLenIn arguments.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If the buf area is 16-byte aligned, any tagged ILE pointers are preserved in by-address (input)
|
|
argument data copied from the buf area to i5/OS PASE memory, and in by-address result
|
|
data copied from i5/OS PASE memory to the buf area.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A structure or union function result returned by-value that is short enough to fit into a
|
|
register must be handled as QP2_RESULT_WORD for a 32-bit i5/OS PASE program or as
|
|
QP2_RESULT_DWORD for a 64-bit i5/OS PASE program. Longer structure or union
|
|
function results returned by-value are actually returned by-address through a
|
|
buffer pointer passed as the first (hidden) argument to the i5/OS PASE
|
|
procedure.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>You may need to limit result_type and bufLenIn to avoid overrunning the end of the i5/OS
|
|
PASE stack. Arguments and results that are too large for the stack can be passed by-address
|
|
using argument pointers to i5/OS PASE heap storage.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The PowerPC ABI for AIX requires 4-byte alignment for each argument passed
|
|
to a procedure in a 32-bit program, and 8-byte alignment for each argument
|
|
passed to a procedure in a 64-bit program. Qp2CallPase and Qp2CallPase2 assume
|
|
the caller provides an arglist data structure that provides this alignment,
|
|
including any necessary pad bytes following a structure or union argument and
|
|
following a QP2_ARG_FLOAT32 argument passed to a 64-bit i5/OS PASE program.
|
|
The arglist structure also needs to store any 64-bit integer or floating point
|
|
argument on a 4-byte boundary when the target procedure is in a 32-bit i5/OS
|
|
PASE program (rather than the 8-byte boundary used as the default for these
|
|
types in ILE C and C++ compilers).</li>
