how to empty the queue??

Hi all, I need to empty the queue at certain places in my code. The only way I can find is reading from queue untill it is empty. But this is not an efficeint method as reading is implemented as a memory copy, and it is wasting time reading all queue data just to throw away. Is there a function which will just adjust the pointers of queue as it is empty? I need a very fast queue empty mechanism. Thanks.

You can add the following function to queue.c void vQueueEmpty( xQueueHandle pxQueue ) {     pxNewQueue->uxMessagesWaiting = 0;     pxNewQueue->pcWriteTo = pxNewQueue->pcHead;     pxNewQueue->pcReadFrom = pxNewQueue->pcHead + ( ( uxQueueLength – 1 ) * uxItemSize );     pxNewQueue->xRxLock = queueUNLOCKED;     pxNewQueue->xTxLock = queueUNLOCKED;     vListInitialise( &( pxNewQueue->xTasksWaitingToSend ) );     vListInitialise( &( pxNewQueue->xTasksWaitingToReceive ) ); } Be vary careful not to call it when there are tasks blocked on the queue!
