- Slight improvement to the save context macro.
- Remove some #warning remarks.
- Enable interrupts before calling the ISR handler rather than in the ISR handler.
- Add in the assert when a task attempts to exit its implementing function without deleting itself.
- Remove obsolete code from the context switch asm code (obsoleted by the fact that there is no mask register).
- Attempt to make code more generic by using definitions for additional register addresses.
Add additional asserts to the Keil CM3 and CM4F ports (other CM3/4 ports already updated).
Add the additional yield necessitated by the mutex held count to the case when configUSE_QUEUE_SETS is 0.
Remove some apparently obsolete code from xTaskPriorityDisinherit() (a task cannot be both blocked and giving bac a mutex at the same time].
Update the new "mutex held count" increment and decrement functions to allow mutexes to be created before the scheduler is started.
Helper updates to allow a count of the number of mutexes held to be added.
Updates to the CCS Cortex-R4 implementation necessitated by a change in compiler semantics.
Update PIC32MX and MZ ports to assert if a non ISR safe function is called from an ISR.
Fix issue in and simplify the xTaskRemoveFromUnorderedEventList() function. The function is new to the V8 release candidates so does not effect official released code.
Replace LDMFD with POP instructions in IAR and RVDS Cortex-A9 ports.
Replace branch to address with indirect branch and exchange to address in register in the IAR and RVDS Cortex-A9 ports.
Change INCLUDE_xTimerPendFunctionCallFromISR to INCLUDE_xTimerPendFunctionCall
Update event group trace macros to match the new trace recorder code.
Ensure parameter name consistency by renaming any occurrences of xBlockTime and xBlockTimeTicks to xTicksToWait.
Continue work on GCC/RL78 port - still a work in progress.
Adjust how the critical section was used in xQueueAddToSet.
Remove obsolete extern declaration of vTaskSwitchContext() from the MPX430X IAR portmacro.h (other older portmacro.h header files contain the same declaration).
When a task is unblocked the need for a context switch is only signalled if the unblocked task has a priority higher than the currently running task, instead of higher than or equal to the priority of the currently running task.
Replace #define types with typedefs.
Rename all typedefs to have a _t extension.
Add #defines to automatically convert old FreeRTOS specific types to their new names (with the _t).
Introduce xPortRunning variable into Win32 simulator port layer.
Add port optimised task selection macro for the GCC Win32 port layer (the MSVC version has had one for a while).
Ensure the event list item value does not get modified by code in tasks.c (priority inheritance, or priority change) when it is in use by the event group implementation.
Reset the expected block time variable when a task is suspended or deleted in case the value held in the variables was associated with the task just suspended or deleted.
Add a task pre-delete hook to allow the insertion of any port specific clean up when a task is deleted.
Increase use of 'const' qualifiers.
Add vPortCloseRunningThread() into the Win32 port layer to attempt to allow Windows threads to be closed more gracefully when a task deletes itself.
Add configCLEAR_TICK_TIMER_INTERRUPT into PIC32 port layer to allow the timer configuration to be changed without any edits to the port layer being required.
Add prvTaskExitError() into the PIC32 port layer to trap tasks that attempt to exit from their implementing function.
Provide the ability to trap interrupt stack overflows in the PIC32 port.
Radically improve the timing in the Win32 simulator port layer.
Correct header comments in the UARTCommandConsole.c file used in the SmartFusion2 demo.
Exercise the new xQueueSpacesAvailable() function in the MSVC demo.
Add defaults for the new traceMALLOC and traceFREE trace macros.
Catch tasks trying to exit their functions in the Cortex-M0 ports.
Add additional comments to timers.c in response to a support forum question.
Initialise _impure_ptr prior to the first task being started.
Prior to V7.5.0 a yield pended in the tick hook would have occurred during the same tick interrupt. Return pdTRUE from xTaskIncrementTick() if a yield is pending to revert to that behaviour.
Don't reset the stack location when starting the scheduler in Cortex-M0 ports as the vector offset register is not implemented and XMC1000 devices have their application vector address somewhere other than 0x00.
