Hi,

i try the next C code in a gdb session on a ARM target with brakpoints and i found a strange behaviour. I expected that the task 'tsk1' never execute instead if i put a breakpoint on the instruction 'varInt += 1;' i see that it's executed.
I sospect that there is this behavior:

1. i start gdb with application. The application is not running.
2. i enable the breakpoint on the instruction 'err = rt_task_start(&tsk1, &test_tsk1, NULL );'
3. i enable the breakpoint on the instruction 'varInt += 1;' in tsk1
4. run the application that stop on the instruction 'err = rt_task_start(&tsk1, &test_tsk1, NULL );' so the task is in secondary mode for the breakpoint hit if i understand correctly . 5. i make a single step and do the rt_task_start in main, so i see that i break in the task on the instruction 'varInt += 1;' in tsk1 this is strange because main has shadow and has a priority equal o 99, instead tsk1 has a priority equal to 49. 6, the program execute the instruction 'varInt += 1;' and then return to main.
7 then the main has always the control.

The question is:
Why the priority is not respected ? I think this. Maybe the main is in secondary mode for the breakpoint and when make a rt_task_create the new task is in primary mode for the initial instruction. Then receive the signal ( verified with rt_task_set_mode(0, T_WARNSW, NULL); ) and switch to secondary mode but initially the task tsk is in primary mode and execute before main.

Is a known problem ?

Best Regards



CODE---------------------------------


int varInt = 0;
RT_TASK tsk1, tskMain;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int err;
    mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE);

    rt_task_shadow(&tskMain, "main", 99, 0);

    err  = rt_task_create( &tsk1, "tsk1", 0, 49, T_FPU );
    err = rt_task_start(&tsk1, &test_tsk1, NULL );

    for (;;)
    {
        if( varInt > 1 )
            break;
    }


    printf("Task started\n");

    return 0;
}

void test_tsk1( void * args )
{

    for( ;;)
    {
        varInt += 1;
        rt_task_sleep( 100000000 );
    }
}
