Operation Mode

* Synchronous messages are an easy to use and fast IPC mechanism, * threads can both act as message servers and/or message clients, * the mechanism allows data to be carried in both directions. Note * that messages are not copied between the client and server threads * but just a pointer passed so the exchange is very time * efficient.
* Messages are scalar data types of type @p msg_t that are guaranteed * to be size compatible with data pointers. Note that on some * architectures function pointers can be larger that @p msg_t.
* Messages are usually processed in FIFO order but it is possible to * process them in priority order by enabling the * @p CH_CFG_USE_MESSAGES_PRIORITY option in @p chconf.h.
* @pre In order to use the message APIs the @p CH_CFG_USE_MESSAGES option * must be enabled in @p chconf.h. * @post Enabling messages requires 6-12 (depending on the architecture) * extra bytes in the @p thread_t structure. * @{ */ #include "ch.h" #if CH_CFG_USE_MESSAGES || defined(__DOXYGEN__) /*===========================================================================*/ /* Module exported variables. */ /*===========================================================================*/ /*===========================================================================*/ /* Module local types. */ /*===========================================================================*/ /*===========================================================================*/ /* Module local variables. */ /*===========================================================================*/ /*===========================================================================*/ /* Module local functions. */ /*===========================================================================*/ #if CH_CFG_USE_MESSAGES_PRIORITY #define msg_insert(tp, qp) prio_insert(tp, qp) #else #define msg_insert(tp, qp) queue_insert(tp, qp) #endif /*===========================================================================*/ /* Module exported functions. */ /*===========================================================================*/ /** * @brief Sends a message to the specified thread. * @details The sender is stopped until the receiver executes a * @p chMsgRelease()after receiving the message. * * @param[in] tp the pointer to the thread * @param[in] msg the message * @return The answer message from @p chMsgRelease(). * * @api */ msg_t chMsgSend(thread_t *tp, msg_t msg) { thread_t *ctp = currp; chDbgCheck(tp != NULL); chSysLock(); ctp->p_msg = msg; ctp->p_u.wtobjp = &tp->p_msgqueue; msg_insert(ctp, &tp->p_msgqueue); if (tp->p_state == CH_STATE_WTMSG) chSchReadyI(tp); chSchGoSleepS(CH_STATE_SNDMSGQ); msg = ctp->p_u.rdymsg; chSysUnlock(); return msg; } /** * @brief Suspends the thread and waits for an incoming message. * @post After receiving a message the function @p chMsgGet() must be * called in order to retrieve the message and then @p chMsgRelease() * must be invoked in order to acknowledge the reception and send * the answer. * @note If the message is a pointer then you can assume that the data * pointed by the message is stable until you invoke @p chMsgRelease() * because the sending thread is suspended until then. * * @return A reference to the thread carrying the message. * * @api */ thread_t *chMsgWait(void) { thread_t *tp; chSysLock(); if (!chMsgIsPendingI(currp)) chSchGoSleepS(CH_STATE_WTMSG); tp = queue_fifo_remove(&currp->p_msgqueue); tp->p_state = CH_STATE_SNDMSG; chSysUnlock(); return tp; } /** * @brief Releases a sender thread specifying a response message. * @pre Invoke this function only after a message has been received * using @p chMsgWait(). * * @param[in] tp pointer to the thread * @param[in] msg message to be returned to the sender * * @api */ void chMsgRelease(thread_t *tp, msg_t msg) { chSysLock(); chDbgAssert(tp->p_state == CH_STATE_SNDMSG, "invalid state"); chMsgReleaseS(tp, msg); chSysUnlock(); } #endif /* CH_CFG_USE_MESSAGES */ /** @} */
