IHostGCManager::ThreadIsBlockingForSuspension Method

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

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 noteImportant

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