Stack Checker Extension Set Definition.

This macro defines the user extension handler set for the stack checker. This macro is normally only used by confdefs.h.

Function Documentation

rtems_stack_checker_create_extension()

bool rtems_stack_checker_create_extension	(	Thread_Control *	running,
		Thread_Control *	the_thread
	)

Stack Checker Task Create Extension.

This method is the task create extension for the stack checker.

Parameters

[in]	running	points to the currently executing task
[in]	the_thread	points to the newly created task

Note

If this this the first task created, the stack checker will automatically intialize itself.

rtems_stack_checker_is_blown()

bool rtems_stack_checker_is_blown

(

void

)

Checks if current task is blown its stack.

This method is used to determine if the current stack pointer of the currently executing task is within bounds.

Return values

This	method returns true if the currently executing task has blown its stack.

rtems_stack_checker_report_usage()

void rtems_stack_checker_report_usage

(

void

)

Print the stack usage report using printk.

This method prints a stack usage report for the curently executing task.

Note

It uses printk to print the report.

rtems_stack_checker_report_usage_with_plugin()

void rtems_stack_checker_report_usage_with_plugin

(

const rtems_printer *

printer

)

Print the stack usage report using caller's routine.

This method prints a stack usage report for the curently executing task.

Parameters

[in]	context	is the context to pass to the print handler
[in]	print	is the print handler

Note

It uses the caller's routine to print the report.

rtems_stack_checker_switch_extension()

void rtems_stack_checker_switch_extension	(	Thread_Control *	running,
		Thread_Control *	heir
	)

Stack Checker Task Context Switch Extension.

This method is the task context switch extension for the stack checker.

Parameters

[in]	running	points to the currently executing task which is being context switched out
[in]	running	points to the heir task which we are switching to

Note

This is called from the internal method _Thread_Dispatch.
