move tskMAX_TASK_NAME_LEN to portable.h?

I am currently studying the pic18-port and I was wondering why tskMAX_TASK_NAME_LEN is defined in task.h instead of partable.h. I think it would be nice when this was changed. On 8-bit micro’s as the pic18, every saved byte of ram is valuable. Perhaps it’s even possible to change the taskname (optionally, portable) from a string to a char, eliminating the need for the terminating . A char for taskname gives plenty possibilities for tasknames (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) without using lots of ram. Marcel

Hi Marcel, Can you add this to the change request tracker on the main sourceforge page.  (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freertos).  It will be the first one but it would be good to start off the feature request list. This is a small change that can be included in the next release. There are a few RAM saving tips here: http://www.freertos.org/FAQMem.html#RAMReduce Regards.

It’s me again. I see that the taskname is only used by the trace-facility. Perhaps an idea to only include the taskname when the trace-facility is included?

Change Request Tracker? COOL!

This would be the RFE-tab, right? RFE = Requenst For Enhancement???

RFE created. If there are spelling-errors, that’s because of the fight I had with my cat about who owns the keyboard… :-)

It has appeared in the correct section, but I am curious as to where you get "RFE" from.  From here it says "Feature Requests".  Does source forge take location into account and change terminology and/or language when it serves pages?

Just spotted the RFE – it shows both.  The feature requests can be seen from the "Summary" page on source forge.
