MA_CHOP_STACK(3)

NAME
MA_chop_stack - deallocate a stack block and all stack blocks allocated after it

C SYNOPSIS
#include "macdecls.h"
Boolean MA_chop_stack(memhandle)
    Integer     memhandle;      /* read-only */

FORTRAN SYNOPSIS
#include "mafdecls.fh"
logical function MA_chop_stack(memhandle)
    integer     memhandle

DESCRIPTION
MA_chop_stack() deallocates the stack block corresponding to the handle memhandle (which was returned by MA_push_get() or MA_push_stack() when the block was allocated) and all stack blocks allocated after it.

DIAGNOSTICS
invalid memhandle: %d
memhandle is not a valid handle.
invalid checksum for memhandle %d (name: '%s')
The block's computed checksum does not match its stored checksum. This indicates that the block has been corrupted by having its internal state overwritten.
invalid guard(s) for memhandle %d (name: '%s')
This indicates that the block has been corrupted by being overwritten at one or both ends. The likely cause of this is an application indexing bug.
memhandle %d (name: '%s') not in stack
The block is not currently allocated in the stack.
Other diagnostics are possible. If seen, they indicate corruption of the internal state of MA, caused by bugs in either MA or the application.

RETURN VALUE
C: MA_TRUE upon success, MA_FALSE upon failure.
FORTRAN: .true. upon success, .false. upon failure.
