Add portYIELD_FROM_ISR() macros to Cortex-M ports. The new macro just calls the exiting portEND_SWITCHING_ISR() macro.
Remove code from the MSVC port layer that was left over from a previous implementation and become obsolete.
Update the tickless idle implementations that use up counters for tick interrupt generate to ensure they remain in low power mode for the desired time instead of one tick less than the desired time.
Correct the header comments in het.c and het.h (RM48/TMS570 demo) which were corrupt.
Correct version numbers in RX63N Renesas compiler demo.
Ensure stacks set up for tasks in the RX200 port layer end on 8 byte boundaries (was 4, which didn't matter but didn't match the definition).
Replaced unqualified (unsigned) in calls to standard functions with (size_t).
Made queue function prototypes consistent so xQueueHandle parameters are always xQueue, and xQUEUE * parameters pxQueue.
Likewise make the task API using px for pointers to TCBs, and just x for task handles.
Heap_x functions now automatically align the start of the heap without using the portDOUBLE union member.
Queue.c now includes queue.h.
Changed eTaskStateGet() to eTaskGetState() and added #define to ensure backward compatibility.
Added configEXPECTED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP definition - was previously hard coded to 2.
Slight change to the default CM3 tickless sleep function to allow the idle time to be set to zero in the pre-sleep processing macro.
Changed stack alignment for the FreeRTOS-MPU port to ensure it didn't trigger the assert() in the generic create function.
Add EDS support in the PIC24 port layer.
Remove unnecessary EHB instructions from PIC32 port.
In the PIC32 port assembly code, replace the &= code with a single ins instruction.
Replaced the #error that traps configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY being set to 0 with a configASSERT() for GCC Cortex-M3/4 ports as the #error does not work if configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY includes any casting. Not a problem for other compilers as they cannot have casting anyway as that would break the assembly code.
