It may need a little editing to get it to apply cleanly, but not much has happened in that code for some time, so it should be too difficult. > > That would be for Nick to decide. As the message says, this is potentially a destabilizing change to the scheduler. It really needs some intensive testing, and maybe even some specific test programs written to exercise it. I'm also not very happy with the choice of names used here, and the fact that several assertion tests become impossible, and would like to rewrite it a little before committing it. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com The eCos and RedBoot experts -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
