MessageGlobalsInitProc

You can create an initialization function that requests and allocates memory for your global data. The initialization function must have a prototype of this form:

typedef void (*MessageGlobalsInitProc) (void *messageGlobals);

messageGlobals

A pointer to the global data to be initialized.

DESCRIPTION

You must supply the MessageGlobalsInitProc function if you use the NewMessageGlobals function to allocate memory for your global data. Once this initialization function is installed, QuickDraw GX calls it whenever you use the NewMessageGlobals function.

If your programming environment is MPW, you may use the A5Init function that MPW provides to establish an A5 world for your global data:

void A5Init (void *globalPtr);

SEE ALSO

The NewMessageGlobals function is described on page 6-17.

For more information on initializing you global data, see the section "Allocating Memory for and Disposing of Global Data" beginning on page 6-8.
