xQueueCreate macro
@endcond Creates a new queue instance, and returns a handle by which the new queue can be referenced. Internally, within the FreeRTOS implementation, queues use two blocks of memory. The first block is used to hold the queue's data structures. The second block is used to hold items placed into the queue. If a queue is created using xQueueCreate() then both blocks of memory are automatically dynamically allocated inside the xQueueCreate() function. (see https://www.FreeRTOS.org/a00111.html). If a queue is created using xQueueCreateStatic() then the application writer must provide the memory that will get used by the queue. xQueueCreateStatic() therefore allows a queue to be created without using any dynamic memory allocation. https://www.FreeRTOS.org/Embedded-RTOS-Queues.html Example usage:
{c}
struct AMessage
{
char ucMessageID;
char ucData[ 20 ];
};
void vATask( void *pvParameters )
{
QueueHandle_t xQueue1, xQueue2;
// Create a queue capable of containing 10 uint32_t values.
xQueue1 = xQueueCreate( 10, sizeof( uint32_t ) );
if( xQueue1 == 0 )
{
// Queue was not created and must not be used.
}
// Create a queue capable of containing 10 pointers to AMessage structures.
// These should be passed by pointer as they contain a lot of data.
xQueue2 = xQueueCreate( 10, sizeof( struct AMessage * ) );
if( xQueue2 == 0 )
{
// Queue was not created and must not be used.
}
// ... Rest of task code.
}
Syntax
#define xQueueCreate( uxQueueLength, uxItemSize ) xQueueGenericCreate( ( uxQueueLength ), ( uxItemSize ), ( queueQUEUE_TYPE_BASE ) )
Return value
If the queue is successfully create then a handle to the newly created queue is returned. If the queue cannot be created then 0 is returned.
