The documentation for "Subpool handling" from the Assembler Services Guide
indicates that (for subpools 0-127, which are task-related) "when the task
terminates, the system automatically releases any of the subpool from
0 through 127 that are unshared and are associated with the task."
It then goes on to note that the SHSPV and SHSPL option on the
ATTACH/ATTACHX
macro can be used to indicate that a subpool is to be shared (other than
subpool 0
which is, by default, shared.)
My question is the attribute of "shared" - once a subpool is marked shared,
can it ever be marked non-shared again? Once all sub-tasks end, does it
revert back to non-shared, and thus when the main task ends, would the
subpool
be released by the OS?
I can't seem to find any commentary on that question...
That is - if a multi-task address space shares a subpool; is it the
responsibilty
of the main task to release the shared subpool, or will the OS do this when
the main task ends?
