Retrieve input object passed by master thread (Daemon class)


GetInputObject is a member of the Daemon class

This shared method retrieves the input object passed by the master thread (in the second argument of the Run method) and makes it available to the daemon.

Syntax

%(Daemon):GetInputObject( object)

Syntax terms

%(Daemon) The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. GetInputObject can also be invoked via a Daemon object variable, which may be null.
%inputObj The object passed to the daemon method object in the last Run method invocation. %inputObj must be deep copyable, as described in Copying objects.

Usage notes

  • GetInputObject may not be issued on a master thread.
  • If the input object passed by the Run method does not match the %inputObj argument of GetInputObject, the request containing GetInputObject is cancelled.
  • GetInputObject sets its argument to null if no object or a null object is passed by Run, and subsequent references to that object cancel the request.
