Hi All,
I'm pretty new to MQX and would like to confirm that I have the right idea when it comes to dynamically creating and destroying tasks to perform transitory jobs that might be blocking in nature (or require a lot of time to complete).
Question 1: Is it proper to call _task_destroy() from within the child Task function I want to destroy (as in code example below) or do I need to do this from the parent function that created the task?
Question 2: If allowed to call _task_destroy() from within the child task I want to terminate, which is the better/proper way to do it: _task_destroy(_task_get_id()); or _task_destroy(MQX_NULL_TASK_ID); ?
This simplified example code seems to work as I intend I would just like to confirm that I'm doing things the "MQX" way, Thanks!
TASK_TEMPLATE_STRUCT MQX_template_list[] ={/*Task number, EntryPoint, Stack, Pri, String, Auto? */ {MAIN_TASK, MAIN_task, 5000, 9, "main", MQX_AUTO_START_TASK}, {TEMP_TASK, My_Task, 5000, 9, "mtask", 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}};void MAIN_task(uint_32 initial_data) { boolean bNeedTask = 0; _task_id tiNewTaskID; if(bNeed_Task == 1) { tiNewTaskID = _task_create(0, TEMP_TASK, 0); if(tiNewTaskID == MQX_NULL_TASK_ID) { //Log Error... } bNeed_Task = 0; }// Do Stuff Here.... }void my_task(uint_32 initial_data) { //Do something here.... _task_destroy( _task_get_id() ); //Which way is better/proper??// _task_destroy(MQX_NULL_TASK_ID); // return; }
