IHostGCManager::ThreadIsBlockingForSuspension Method

  • Article

Notifies the host that the thread from which the method call was made is about to block for a garbage collection.

Syntax

HRESULT ThreadIsBlockingForSuspension ();

Return Value

HRESULT Description
S_OK ThreadIsBlockingForSuspension returned successfully.
HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE The common language runtime (CLR) has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.
HOST_E_TIMEOUT The call timed out.
HOST_E_NOT_OWNER The caller does not own the lock.
HOST_E_ABANDONED An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it.
E_FAIL An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. When a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.

Remarks

The CLR typically calls the ThreadIsBlockForSuspension method in preparation for a garbage collection, to give the host an opportunity to reschedule the thread for unmanaged tasks.

Important

The host can reschedule tasks only after a call to ThreadIsBlockingForSuspension. After the runtime calls SuspensionStarting, the host must not reschedule a task.
