RAM Synchronously</title><shortdesc>This section describes how an application can request for free

RAM synchronously.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>

<prereq id="GUID-CCF15EAF-F053-4968-AF9F-F9D0345F9F36"><p>Perform the steps

described in <xref href="GUID-50CA5439-29A1-426C-83BA-EC048FE86CDE.dita">Allowing

Large Memory Allocation</xref>.</p></prereq>

<context id="GUID-BFCBBCAE-9FD9-4549-86E9-48294E896D32">       <p>Requesting

free RAM synchronously is easy to implement because no active object is needed

and is recommended when there is no need to perform any other task while waiting

for the request to complete. This approach is not recommended in case of a

server, as synchronous call blocks the server and it cannot serve its clients

during synchronous wait.</p>     </context>

<steps id="GUID-4DD07DEC-6017-4237-BE46-1D69E5FBD744-GENID-1-10-1-11-1-1-9-1-5-1-6-1-6-1-6-1-3-3">

<example><p>The following code snippet illustrates an synchronous request

for 2MB RAM: </p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">TInt KLargeValueToAllocate = 2097152; //2MB

// Create an OOM Monitor session

ROomMonitorSession oomMonitorSession;

CleanUpClosePushL(oomMonitorSession);

User::LeaveIfError(oomMonitorSession.Connect());

// Request free memory

User::LeaveIfError(iOomMonitorSession.RequestFreeMemory(KLargeValueToAllocate));

DoFunctionRequiring_KLargeValueToAllocate_Bytes();

// Tidy up

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); //oomMonitorSession, calls Close()
