PK_SESSION_is_in_kernel

PK_ERROR_code_t     PK_SESSION_is_in_kernel
(
--- returned arguments ---
PK_LOGICAL_t *const is_in_kernel,   --- whether called from within the kernel
PK_LOGICAL_t *const is_protected    --- whether called from protected region
)


This function returns whether it has been called from within the kernel or
from outside the kernel.

NOTE: This function is deprecated and has been superseded by
PK_SESSION_is_in_kernel_2.



This function may be called at any time.  Being only inside this function does
not constitute being inside the kernel.  The argument 'is_protected' returns
whether kernel code being executed, if any, may change the model.

The action required for error recovery is indicated in the following table:

  'is_in_kernel'    'is_protected'
  --------------    --------------

 PK_LOGICAL_false  PK_LOGICAL_false    execution is not within Parasolid.
                                       No action required.

 PK_LOGICAL_true   PK_LOGICAL_false    execution is within a lightweight PK
                                       function, or an unprotected part of
                                       a heavyweight PK function.
                                       PK_SESSION_tidy should be called.

 PK_LOGICAL_true   PK_LOGICAL_true     execution is within the protected part
                                       of a heavyweight PK function or within
                                       a KI function.  Both PK_SESSION_tidy
                                       and PK_SESSION_abort should be called.
                                       Rollback must be used to regain a valid
                                       model state.

 PK_LOGICAL_false  PK_LOGICAL_true     Protection mechanism is corrupt or the
                                       kernel interface has been by-passed.
                                       PK_SESSION_abort may recover from this
                                       condition.
