Hi Philippe,

maybe something low-prio for your todo list: why not make the aperiodic timer mode also exclusive via an optional compile switch? Just like CONFIG_RTAI_HW_APERIODIC_TIMER decides if only periodic mode is available. Would save some checks in critical paths and would also reduce the nucleus code size a bit.

BTW, I'm still having difficulties to understand the motivation that the nucleus on the one hand accepts nanoseconds as time(out) values in periodic mode and converts them back internally but, on the other hand, the users are forced to transform periodic ticks to ns on their own. Did I ask you about this issue before? Then accept my forehanded excuse, I don't remember it anymore. ;)

Jan
