Right now the core component `clist` is a generic cyclic doubly-linked list.
In the core it is used in `tcb_t::rq_entry`.
Further it is used `net_if.c`.
This commit removes the member `clist_node_t::data` which stored the
pointer to the `tcb_t` instance of which the clist is already a member.
The needless member added `sizeof (int)` bytes to every instance of
`tcb_t`.
In `net_if.c` the clist was used in a type-punned way, so that the
change won't affect it.
Closes#1399.
> Using a different value for SCHED_PRIO_LEVELS for 16 and 32 bit
platforms hurts portability, one thing that we heavily advertise about
RIOT. if you want to write a portable application, then you have to
assume the lower value.
This PR defaults `SCHED_PRIO_LEVELS` to 16 for every board.
In many places we needlessly use `sched_active_thread->pid` whilst we
already have `sched_active_pid` with the same value, and one less
indirection.
`thread_getpid()` is made `static inline` so that there is no penalty in
using this function over accessing `sched_active_pid` directly.
The variable `node` shadows the parameter `node`. The access of
`node->first` would not compile, because there is no member `first` in
`priority_queue_t`.
`tcp_t::stack_size` is only examined by the shell command `ps` and
`DEBUG_PRINT`. For the latter one only if `DEVELHELP` was enabled.
This PR guards the member `tcp_t::stack_size` in `#ifdef DEVELHELP`.
Only if DEVELHELP was activated its value get printed by `ps`.
Closes#1287.
Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
This PR converts tabs to white spaces.
The statement I used for the conversion:
'''find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec zsh -c 'expand -t 4 "$0" > /tmp/e && mv /tmp/e "$0"' {} \;'''
Afterwards, I had a quick overview of the converted files to prevent odd indentation.
pid and tcb_t were compared instead of pid and pid
SCHEDSTATISTICS:
- reduce hwtimer_now calls
- dont use thread_last_pid anymore
- increase readability
- remove stray spaces
- remove TODOs:
- MODULE_HWTIMER is not a module anymore
- checking for NULL is necessary, at least without API changes:
`sched_task_exit` sets `sched_active_thread` to `NULL`, then exits,
afterwards `cpu_switch_context_exit` calls `sched_run`
Building MSP boards gives an error, because `VERSION` is somewhere
defined in their toolchain as an integer.
This PR renames `VERSION` into `RIOT_VERSION`, because that's what it
is.
