Temporarily disable context / task switching.

[brad_ci]

I have a section of code (a few lines) which much not be interrupted (updating the hardware watchdog) by context/task switching. How can I tell MQX to temporarily disable task switching? I couldn't find anything in the documention, but I was sure I've seen it before...

Thanks,

Brad

to answer my own question:

_task_stop_preemption();

and 

_task_start_preemption();

Should the interrupts also be disabled?

I have used:

_int_disable();
_int_enable();
