Macro Definition Documentation

◆ TN_MAKE_ALIG_SIZE

#define TN_MAKE_ALIG_SIZE ( a ) (((a) + (sizeof(TN_UWord) - 1)) & (~(sizeof(TN_UWord) - 1)))

Macro for making a number a multiple of sizeof(TN_UWord), should be used with fixed memory block pool.

See tn_fmem_create() for usage example.

Definition at line 231 of file tn_common.h.

◆ TN_MAKE_ALIG

#define TN_MAKE_ALIG ( a ) TN_MAKE_ALIG_SIZE(a)

The same as TN_MAKE_ALIG_SIZE but its behavior depends on the option TN_API_MAKE_ALIG_ARG

Attention: it is recommended to use TN_MAKE_ALIG_SIZE macro instead of this one, in order to avoid confusion caused by various TNKernel ports: refer to the section Macro MAKE_ALIG() for details.

Typedef Documentation

◆ TN_TickCnt

typedef unsigned long TN_TickCnt

Type for system tick count, it is used by the kernel to represent absolute tick count value as well as relative timeouts.

When it is used as a timeout value, it represents the maximum number of system ticks to wait.

Assume user called some system function, and it can't perform its job immediately (say, it needs to lock mutex but it is already locked, etc).

So, function can wait or return an error. There are possible timeout values and appropriate behavior of the function:

timeout is set to 0: function doesn't wait at all, no context switch is performed, TN_RC_TIMEOUT is returned immediately.
timeout is set to TN_WAIT_INFINITE: function waits until it eventually can perform its job. Timeout is not taken in account, so TN_RC_TIMEOUT is never returned.
timeout is set to other value: function waits at most specified number of system ticks. Strictly speaking, it waits from (timeout - 1) to timeout ticks. So, if you specify that timeout is 1, be aware that it might actually don't wait at all: if system timer interrupt happens just while function is putting task to wait (with interrupts disabled), then ISR will be executed right after function puts task to wait. Then tn_tick_int_processing() will immediately remove the task from wait queue and make it runnable again.

So, to guarantee that task waits at least 1 system tick, you should specify timeout value of 2.

Note also that there are other possible ways to make task runnable:

if task waits because of call to tn_task_sleep(), it may be woken up by some other task, by means of tn_task_wakeup(). In this case, tn_task_sleep() returns TN_RC_OK.
independently of the wait reason, task may be released from wait forcibly, by means of tn_task_release_wait(). It this case, TN_RC_FORCED is returned by the waiting function. (the usage of the tn_task_release_wait() function is discouraged though)

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ TN_ObjId

enum TN_ObjId

Magic number for object validity verification.

Enumerator
TN_ID_NONE	id for invalid object
TN_ID_TASK	id for tasks
TN_ID_SEMAPHORE	id for semaphores
TN_ID_EVENTGRP	id for event groups
TN_ID_DATAQUEUE	id for data queues
TN_ID_FSMEMORYPOOL	id for fixed memory pools
TN_ID_MUTEX	id for mutexes
TN_ID_TIMER	id for timers
TN_ID_EXCHANGE	id for exchange objects
TN_ID_EXCHANGE_LINK	id for exchange link

◆ TN_RCode

enum TN_RCode

Result code returned by kernel services.

Enumerator
TN_RC_OK	Successful operation.
TN_RC_TIMEOUT	Timeout (consult `TN_TickCnt` for details). See also `TN_TickCnt`
TN_RC_OVERFLOW	This code is returned in the following cases: Trying to increment semaphore count more than its max count; Trying to return extra memory block to fixed memory pool. See also tn_sem.h tn_fmem.h
TN_RC_WCONTEXT	Wrong context error: returned if function is called from non-acceptable context. Required context suggested for every function by badges: - function can be called from task; - function can be called from ISR. See also `tn_sys_context_get()` `enum TN_Context`
TN_RC_WSTATE	Wrong task state error: requested operation requires different task state.
TN_RC_WPARAM	This code is returned by most of the kernel functions when wrong params were given to function. This error code can be returned if only build-time option `TN_CHECK_PARAM` is non-zero See also `TN_CHECK_PARAM`
TN_RC_ILLEGAL_USE	Illegal usage. Returned in the following cases: task tries to unlock or delete the mutex that is locked by different task, task tries to lock mutex with priority ceiling whose priority is lower than task's priority See also tn_mutex.h
TN_RC_INVALID_OBJ	Returned when user tries to perform some operation on invalid object (mutex, semaphore, etc). Object validity is checked by comparing special `id_...` field value with the value from `enum TN_ObjId` See also `TN_CHECK_PARAM`
TN_RC_DELETED	Object for whose event task was waiting is deleted.
TN_RC_FORCED	Task was released from waiting forcibly because some other task called `tn_task_release_wait()`
TN_RC_INTERNAL	Internal kernel error, should never be returned by kernel services. If it is returned, it's a bug in the kernel.
