An application might want to use C11 features. The user would assume
that setting `CFLAGS=-std=gnu11` in the Makefile would work. It does not
since the board's Makefile.include shadows the `-std` flag.
This patch removes the `-std=gnu99` from the various Makefile.includes,
and sets the flag in the common Makefile.include of RIOT instead.
If an `-std` flag was provided by an earlier Makefile (the application,
the board, or the CPU [whilst only the former one should]), then no
additional flag is set. It is first tested if the supplied compiler
understands `-std=gnu99`, then `-std=c99`.
test_thread_msg_block_w_queue:
demonstrates the behaviour described in issue #100
and that it is solved by PR #569
test_thread_msg_block_wo_queue:
demonstrates behaviour similar to the above but without
a messge queue. This works with the current master, but
breaks with PR #569
When setting the running task reply_blocked, it is implicitly removed
from the runqueue. But if queueing of a msg is actually successful, the
thread exits msg_send without yielding, continuing to run even if it's
not supposed to.
Nice example of why multiple function exit points lead to weird
errors...
All other layers in the network stack use a msg_queue to not drop messages, which in this context represent packages.
This finally fixes the random crashes when UDP network traffic is present. Turns out RIOT is not handling lost messages well.
msg_queue is defined but never used, hook it up so IP packets get queued instead of dropped when there is more than one.
change the name to ip_msg_queue to avoid naming conflicts.
solves issue #100
If the sender is reply-blocked, waking it up after its message has been
delivered is wrong. It needs to stay reply-blocked until the reply has
been delivered.
Currently pkg/USING says one should use
`EXTERNAL+=$(RIOTBASE)/pkg/<pkg_name>` to enable PKG modules.
Using this line the PKG will be compiled but not linked.
This change adds a USEPKG variable to be used like
`USEPKG += <pkg_name>`, which looks less clumsy and gets the PKG linked
in the binary.
