For equeue_sema_wait, -1 is used to indicate an infinite wait.
This wasn't handled in the nonrtos implementation and caused
undefined/weird behaviour after an overflow on integer multiplication.
On most boards, the infinite wait would return after ~50 days, on the
STM32F4 the timeout killed all other timeouts for some reason.
The equeue_chain function is supposed to unchain the event queue
from whatever queue it is chained to when passed a null target.
Internally, this is accomplished by just calling equeue_background
with null and letting the previously registered update function
clean up the chaining.
However, equeue_chain did not appropriately check for null, causing
it to unnecessarily allocate memory and leaving the update function
in a bad state. Fixed with a simple null check.
In the IAR ide, implicitly generated structures based on function
templates end up with missing type information. This has no effect
on using the IAR compiler standalone, but when used through the ide
the missing type information causes the ide to error.
As a workaround, moved the function attributes generated for the
Callback and Event classes into the class scope. This avoids the
syntax that confuses IAR.
With ARM Compiler 5.06u3, when the equeue_tickdiff function is
inlined, the compiler treats the unsigned integer subtraction
as undefined behaviour and assumes falsely the comparisons
could never be true.
The workaround is to an explicit cast, which politely reminds the
compiler to emit the correct comparison.
Added mbed-events from https://github.com/ARMMbed/mbed-events. Changes
from upstream:
- the whole code is licensed under the Apache license. Sources and
headers were updates with this information.
- removed the porting layers for Windows and FreeRTOS and the references
to these porting layers in equeue_platform.h.
- moved the TESTS directory in mbed-events to the TESTS directory of
mbed-os.
