Mbed retarget does an `fflush` on stdout and stderr on exit - this
flushes the C library buffers (if it is buffering), but doesn't
flush any device buffers (eg UARTSerial's TX buffer). Add
sync() calls to the output device to do this.
Use write() on current output device instead - this works on the
assumption that write() is safe to call from critical section.
UARTSerial has previously been upgraded to support this, and this also
improves the behaviour when buffered serial is in use - the current
buffered output will be fully flushed before outputting the error
message.
Static Thread methods and signal methods have been deprecated. Remove
all references in the main code, and most of the tests. Some tests of
the deprecated APIs themselves remain.
Compilers allocate some section of memory without using wrapper function,
which is later freed when wrappers were initialized. Since the allocated
memory didn;t contain wrapper header the pointer got corrupt when calling to free.
This implementation of signature addition during malloc and signature check during
free helps in freeing the memory allocated by wrapper functions properly and
also the internal memory allocated by compilers (without malloc wrappers).
malloc guarantees aligned memory. If we add an alignment here, we are adding
additonal unused 4 bytes. Each allocator has its own 4/8 byte header
(GGC / ARM have 4 bytes).
So if user request for 8 bytes of memory stats will add 8 + allocator 8.
However if we remove the alignment in stats header, allocator will consider
add 4 bytes to 12 byte request and zero padding.
It will be beneficial to leave the padding to allocator.
You are allowed in POSIX / ANSI C to read and write on the same stream, but you
have to do an fseek in between read and write call (getc->fseek->putc)
Thanks @Alex-EEE for sharing the fix: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/7749
Added test case for verification of the behavior
Heap statistics are used for analysing heap stats, but it doesn't tell anything
about real heap usage or malloc overheads. Adding `overhead_size` element
will help users to get the real heap usage.
Low power Timer is used as RTC for platforms that don't have HW RTC capabilities (like NRF52832).
`_rtc_lpticker_read(void)` function currently uses `Timer::read()` function to trace elapsed time.
`Timer::read()` returns seconds represented as `float` value, but this value is calculated from `int` since `Timer::read_us()` returns `int`.
This limits time tracing to ~35 min.
To fix this problem we will use `timer::read_high_resolution_us()` (which returns unsigned 64 bit value) instead of `Timer::read()`.
Add a config option for the following values:
MBED_SYS_STATS_ENABLED
MBED_STACK_STATS_ENABLED
MBED_CPU_STATS_ENABLED
MBED_HEAP_STATS_ENABLED
MBED_THREAD_STATS_ENABLED
MBED_CONF_APP_MAIN_STACK_SIZE
MBED_CONF_APP_TIMER_THREAD_STACK_SIZE
MBED_CONF_APP_IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE
MBED_CONF_APP_THREAD_STACK_SIZE
To maintain backwards compatibility inside the RTOS both
APP and RTOS config values can be used.
Code had mixed up order of 'c' and 'n' arguments to memset().
Fix this.
