EtcPalThreadParams Struct Reference

Overview

A set of parameters for an etcpal_thread.

The members of this structure are not all honored on all platforms. Here is a breakdown:

Platform	Priority Honored	Stack Size Honored	Thread Name Honored	Platform Data Available
FreeRTOS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Linux	No	Yes	Yes	No
macOS	No	Yes	Yes	No
MQX	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes, EtcPalThreadParamsMqx
Windows	Yes	Yes	Yes	No

Data Fields
unsigned int	priority
	The priority of the thread. More...
unsigned int	stack_size
	The stack size of the thread in bytes. More...
const char *	thread_name
	A name for the thread, maximum length ETCPAL_THREAD_NAME_MAX_LENGTH.
void *	platform_data
	Pointer to a platform-specific parameter structure. More...

Field Documentation

platform_data

void* platform_data

Pointer to a platform-specific parameter structure.

This is used to set thread attributes that are not shared between platforms. Currently the only platform that has a valid value for this member is MQX, which has the following structure:

typedef struct EtcPalThreadParamsMqx
{
  _mqx_uint task_attributes; // Corresponds to the TASK_ATTRIBUTES member of TASK_TEMPLATE_STRUCT
  _mqx_uint time_slice; // Corresponds to the DEFAULT_TIME_SLICE member of TASK_TEMPLATE_STRUCT
} EtcPalThreadParamsMqx;

priority

unsigned int priority

The priority of the thread.

Note that thread priority is not valid on all platforms.

stack_size

unsigned int stack_size

The stack size of the thread in bytes.

This value is always in bytes and will be translated as appropriate for the underlying platform (e.g. converted to words for FreeRTOS).

Note that thread stack size is not valid on all platforms.
