I am currently porting the uGFX LCD graphics library to eCos and have a few questions.
1/ Is there any method of detecting from a thread handle whether the thread that handle refers to is still runnable ie. hasn't exited or been killed? 2/ Is there any way of detecting if cyg_scheduler_start() has already been called or, is it safe to call it multiple times with no side effects or, can it be assumed that cyg_scheduler_start() has already been called when main() is invoked (if the kernel is included)? 3/ Is there any approved method of halting the system (eg due to an unrecoverable soft error) or is calling the C library exit() or _exit() sufficient? 4/ Can stdout output be relied upon on all platforms? Is stdout and/or stderr assumed to be a debug/monitor output stream? Thanks, Andrew. -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
