This is a macro that calls xQueueGenericSend(). Post an item to the back of a queue. The item is queued by copy, not by reference. This function must not be called from an interrupt service routine. See xQueueSendFromISR () for an alternative which may be used in an ISR. Example usage:
struct AMessage
{
char ucMessageID;
char ucData[ 20 ];
} xMessage;
uint32_t ulVar = 10UL;
void vATask( void *pvParameters )
{
QueueHandle_t xQueue1, xQueue2;
struct AMessage *pxMessage;
// Create a queue capable of containing 10 uint32_t values.
xQueue1 = xQueueCreate( 10, sizeof( uint32_t ) );
// 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( xQueue1 != 0 )
{
// Send an uint32_t. Wait for 10 ticks for space to become
// available if necessary.
if( xQueueSendToBack( xQueue1, ( void * ) &ulVar, ( TickType_t ) 10 ) != pdPASS )
{
// Failed to post the message, even after 10 ticks.
}
}
if( xQueue2 != 0 )
{
// Send a pointer to a struct AMessage object. Don't block if the
// queue is already full.
pxMessage = & xMessage;
xQueueSendToBack( xQueue2, ( void * ) &pxMessage, ( TickType_t ) 0 );
}
// ... Rest of task code.
}
