memptr

const char*

Memory buffer to load random stream descriptive data from

Output Parameters

Description

stream

VSLStreamStatePtr*

Pointer to a new random stream

errstatus

int

Error status of the operation

Description

The vslLoadStreamM function creates a new stream and reads stream descriptive data, including the stream state, from the memory buffer. A new random stream is created using the stream descriptive data from the memory pointer by memptr. If the stream cannot be read (for example, memptr is invalid), errstatus has a non-zero value. To save random stream to the memory, use vslSaveStreamM function. Use the service routine vslGetStreamSize to determine the amount of memory sufficient to hold the random stream.

CAUTION:

Calling LoadStreamM with a previously initialized stream pointer can have unintended consequences such as a memory leak. To initialize a stream which has been in use until calling vslLoadStreamM, you should call the vslDeleteStream function first to deallocate the resources.
