/**
* @file chmsg.c
* @brief Messages code.
*
* @addtogroup messages
* @details Synchronous inter-thread messages APIs and services.
*
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.
