Receive an item from a queue. It is safe to use this function from within an interrupt service routine. Example usage:
QueueHandle_t xQueue;
// Function to create a queue and post some values.
void vAFunction( void *pvParameters )
{
char cValueToPost;
const TickType_t xTicksToWait = ( TickType_t )0xff;
// Create a queue capable of containing 10 characters.
xQueue = xQueueCreate( 10, sizeof( char ) );
if( xQueue == 0 )
{
// Failed to create the queue.
}
// ...
// Post some characters that will be used within an ISR. If the queue
// is full then this task will block for xTicksToWait ticks.
cValueToPost = 'a';
xQueueSend( xQueue, ( void * ) &cValueToPost, xTicksToWait );
cValueToPost = 'b';
xQueueSend( xQueue, ( void * ) &cValueToPost, xTicksToWait );
// ... keep posting characters ... this task may block when the queue
// becomes full.
cValueToPost = 'c';
xQueueSend( xQueue, ( void * ) &cValueToPost, xTicksToWait );
}
// ISR that outputs all the characters received on the queue.
void vISR_Routine( void )
{
BaseType_t xTaskWokenByReceive = pdFALSE;
char cRxedChar;
while( xQueueReceiveFromISR( xQueue, ( void * ) &cRxedChar, &xTaskWokenByReceive) )
{
// A character was received. Output the character now.
vOutputCharacter( cRxedChar );
// If removing the character from the queue woke the task that was
// posting onto the queue cTaskWokenByReceive will have been set to
// pdTRUE. No matter how many times this loop iterates only one
// task will be woken.
}
if( cTaskWokenByPost != ( char ) pdFALSE;
{
taskYIELD ();
}
}
