ICLRTask::Reset Method
Informs the common language runtime (CLR) that the host has completed a task, and enables the CLR to reuse the current ICLRTask instance to represent another task.
Syntax
HRESULT Reset (
[in] BOOL fFull
);
Parameters
fFull
[in] true
, if the runtime should reset all thread-related static values in addition to the security and locale information related to the current ICLRTask
instance; otherwise, false
.
If the value is true
, the runtime resets data that was stored using AllocateDataSlot or AllocateNamedDataSlot.
Return Value
HRESULT | Description |
---|---|
S_OK | Reset returned successfully. |
HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE | The 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 can recycle previously created ICLRTask
instances to avoid the overhead of repeatedly creating new instances every time it needs a fresh task. The host enables this feature by calling ICLRTask::Reset
instead of ICLRTask::ExitTask when it has completed a task. The following list summarizes the normal life cycle of an ICLRTask
instance:
The runtime creates a new
ICLRTask
instance.The runtime calls IHostTaskManager::GetCurrentTask to get a reference to the current host task.
The runtime calls IHostTask::SetCLRTask to associate the new instance with the host task.
The task executes and completes.
The host destroys the task by calling
ICLRTask::ExitTask
.
Reset
alters this scenario in two ways. In step 5 above, the host calls Reset
to reset the task to a clean state, and then decouples the ICLRTask
instance from its associated IHostTask instance. If desired, the host can also cache the IHostTask
instance for reuse. In step 1 above, the runtime pulls a recycled ICLRTask
from the cache instead of creating a new instance.
This approach works well when the host also has a pool of reusable worker tasks. When the host destroys one of its IHostTask
instances, it destroys the corresponding ICLRTask
by calling ExitTask
.
