Detailed Description

This structure defines the Thread Control Block (TCB).

Uses a leading underscore in the structure name to allow forward declarations in standard header files provided by Newlib and GCC.

In case the second member changes (currently Join_queue), then the memset() in _Thread_Initialize() must be adjusted.

Field Documentation

◆ API_Extensions

void* _Thread_Control::API_Extensions[THREAD_API_LAST+1]

This array contains the API extension area pointers.

◆ current_state

States_Control _Thread_Control::current_state

This field is the current execution state of this thread.

◆ extensions

void* _Thread_Control::extensions[RTEMS_ZERO_LENGTH_ARRAY]

Variable length array of user extension pointers.

The length is defined by the application via <rtems/confdefs.h>.

◆ fp_context

Context_Control_fp* _Thread_Control::fp_context

This field points to the floating point context for this thread. If NULL, the thread is integer only.

◆ is_fp

bool _Thread_Control::is_fp

This field is true if the thread uses the floating point unit.

◆ is_idle

bool _Thread_Control::is_idle

This field is true if the thread is an idle thread.

◆ is_preemptible

bool _Thread_Control::is_preemptible

This field is true if the thread is preemptible.

◆ Join_queue

Thread_queue_Control _Thread_Control::Join_queue

Thread queue for thread join operations and multi-purpose lock.

The lock of this thread queue is used for various purposes. It protects the following fields

RTEMS_API_Control::Signal,
Thread_Control::CPU_budget,
Thread_Control::current_state,
Thread_Control::Post_switch_actions,
Thread_Control::Scheduler::control, and
Thread_Control::Scheduler::own_control.

See also: _Thread_State_acquire().

◆ libc_reent

struct _reent* _Thread_Control::libc_reent

This field points to the newlib reentrancy structure for this thread.

◆ Life

Thread_Life_control _Thread_Control::Life

Thread life-cycle control.

Control state changes triggered by thread restart and delete requests.

◆ Object

Objects_Control _Thread_Control::Object

This field is the object management structure for each thread.

◆ Registers

Context_Control _Thread_Control::Registers

This member contains the context of this thread.

This member is placed directly after the end of the common block so that the structure offsets are as small as possible. This helps on instruction set architectures with a very limited range for intermediate values.

◆ Start

Thread_Start_information _Thread_Control::Start

This field contains information about the starting state of this thread.

◆ Timer

Thread_Timer_information _Thread_Control::Timer

This field is the Watchdog used to manage thread delays and timeouts.

◆ Wait

Thread_Wait_information _Thread_Control::Wait

This field is the blocking information for this thread.

The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:
