Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++)

CBaseAllocator::NotifySample

The NotifySample method releases any threads that are waiting for samples.

Syntax

void NotifySample(void);

Remarks

When there are threads waiting for samples, the value of CBaseAllocator::m_lWaiting is greater than zero. If m_lWaiting is greater than zero, this method calls the ReleaseSemaphore function on the CBaseAllocator::m_hSem semaphore, activating any waiting threads. It also resets m_lWaiting to zero.

This method is called from within the CBaseAllocator::ReleaseBuffer method, when a sample is returned to the free list; and from the CBaseAllocator::Decommit method, when the allocator is decommitted.
