vCoRoutineSchedule to xCoRoutineSchedule

proposed change/addition to vCoRoutineSchedule to xCoRoutineSchedule instead of returning void I would like to return the true if a co-routine is ready to be scheduled, otherwise false if all the co-routines are blocked. something like this signed portBASE_TYPE xCoRoutineSchedule( void ) {     /* See if any co-routines readied by events need moving to the ready lists. */     prvCheckPendingReadyList();     /* See if any delayed co-routines have timed out. */     prvCheckDelayedList();     /* Find the highest priority queue that contains ready co-routines. */     while( listLIST_IS_EMPTY( &( pxReadyCoRoutineLists[ uxTopCoRoutineReadyPriority ] ) ) )     {         if( uxTopCoRoutineReadyPriority == 0 )         {             /* No more co-routines to check. */             return pdFALSE;         }         –uxTopCoRoutineReadyPriority;     }     /* listGET_OWNER_OF_NEXT_ENTRY walks through the list, so the co-routines      of the    same priority get an equal share of the processor time. */     listGET_OWNER_OF_NEXT_ENTRY( pxCurrentCoRoutine, &( pxReadyCoRoutineLists[ uxTopCoRoutineReadyPriority ] ) );     /* Call the co-routine. */     ( pxCurrentCoRoutine->pxCoRoutineFunction )( pxCurrentCoRoutine, pxCurrentCoRoutine->uxIndex );     return pdTRUE; } The reason this would be useful is for power reduction for example, the IdleHook can look something like this now. void vApplicationIdleHook( void ) {     if(xCoRoutineSchedule() == pdFALSE)     {         //Idle the CPU                  PCON  = 0x1;        //IDle Mode     } } I haven’t tested this yet, but I think it should work fine.

vCoRoutineSchedule to xCoRoutineSchedule

i have been running this mod for a while now and it works well.

vCoRoutineSchedule to xCoRoutineSchedule

any input into including this mod into the next release? I find it quite useful for power reduction.

vCoRoutineSchedule to xCoRoutineSchedule

Thanks for your suggestion.  I would be grateful if you could add this to the Feature Request tracker under SourceForce.  That way I will not forget it :o) http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=659636&group_id=111543&func=browse Regards.

I didn’t know if you actually took requests posted in the Feature Request tracker.   I posted up the suggestion. Btw, Keep up the good work. FreeRTOS is getting better every day.
