Type Limits for Call-ins and Call-outs

Depending on the direction (I, O, or IO) of a particular type, both call-ins and call-outs may transfer a value in two directions as follows:

Call-out: GT.M -> C -> GT.M       Call-in:     C -> GT.M -> C
            |     |     |                      |     |     |
            '-----'-----'                      '-----'-----'
               1     2                            2     1

In the following table, the GT.M->C limit applies to 1 and the C->GT.M limit applies to 2. In other words, GT.M->C applies to I direction for call-outs and O direction for call-ins and C->GT.M applies to I direction for call-ins and O direction for call-outs.

[Note]Notes

  • gtm_char_t ** is not supported for call-ins but they are included for IO and O direction usage with call-outs.

  • For call-out use of gtm_char_t * and gtm_string_t *, the specification in the interface definition for preallocation sets the range for IO and O, with a maximum of 1MiB.
