Name

clear_messageT_clear_messageClearMessageClearMessageclear_message — Close a message handle and release all associated resources.

Signature

clear_message( : : MessageHandle : )

Description

clear_messageclear_messageClearMessageClearMessageclear_message closes a message handle MessageHandleMessageHandleMessageHandlemessageHandlemessage_handle that was previously opened with create_messagecreate_messageCreateMessageCreateMessagecreate_message or dequeue_messagedequeue_messageDequeueMessageDequeueMessagedequeue_message. Any resources owned by the message, in particular the tuple or object data stored in the message, will be released.

Multiple message handles can be closed in a single clear_messageclear_messageClearMessageClearMessageclear_message call, passing them as a tuple to the MessageHandleMessageHandleMessageHandlemessageHandlemessage_handle parameter.

The handle(s) must not be used again after being invalidated using clear_messageclear_messageClearMessageClearMessageclear_message. Using an invalid handle results in undefined behavior.
