NAME
LockLayerRom -- Lock Layer structure by rom(gfx lib) code.
SYNOPSIS
LockLayerRom( layer )
a5
void LockLayerRom( struct Layer * );Links: Layer
FUNCTION
Return when the layer is locked and no other task may alter the ClipRect structure in the Layer structure. This call does not destroy any registers. This call nests so that callers in this chain will not lock themselves out. Do not have the Layer locked during a call to intuition. There is a potential deadlock problem here, if intuition needs to get other locks as well. Having the layer locked prevents other tasks from using the layer library functions, most notably intuition itself. So be brief. layers.library's LockLayer is identical to LockLayerRom.
INPUTS
layer - pointer to Layer structure
RESULTS
The layer is locked and the task can render assuming the ClipRects will not change out from underneath it until an UnlockLayerRom is called.
