Operation mode

* A mailbox is an asynchronous communication mechanism.
* Operations defined for mailboxes: * - Post: Posts a message on the mailbox in FIFO order. * - Post Ahead: Posts a message on the mailbox with urgent * priority. * - Fetch: A message is fetched from the mailbox and removed * from the queue. * - Reset: The mailbox is emptied and all the stored messages * are lost. * . * A message is a variable of type msg_t that is guaranteed to have * the same size of and be compatible with (data) pointers (anyway an * explicit cast is needed). * If larger messages need to be exchanged then a pointer to a * structure can be posted in the mailbox but the posting side has * no predefined way to know when the message has been processed. A * possible approach is to allocate memory (from a memory pool as * example) from the posting side and free it on the fetching side. * Another approach is to set a "done" flag into the structure pointed * by the message.
* In order to use the mailboxes APIs the @p CH_USE_MAILBOXES option * must be enabled in @p chconf.h. * @{ */ #include "ch.h" #if CH_USE_MAILBOXES /** * @brief Initializes a Mailbox object. * * @param[out] mbp the pointer to the Mailbox structure to be initialized * @param[in] buf the circular messages buffer * @param[in] n the buffer size as number of @p msg_t */ void chMBInit(Mailbox *mbp, msg_t *buf, cnt_t n) { chDbgCheck((mbp != NULL) && (buf != NULL) && (n > 0), "chMBInit");
