xTaskNotifyStateClear / xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed
[RTOS Task Notification API]
task.h
BaseType_t xTaskNotifyStateClear( TaskHandle_t xTask );
BaseType_t xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed( TaskHandle_t xTask,
UBaseType_t uxIndexToClear );
Each RTOS task has an array of task notifications. Each task notification
has a notification state that can be either ‘pending’ or ‘not pending’,
and a 32-bit notification value.
If a notification is sent to an index within the array of notifications then
the notification at that index is said to be 'pending' until the task reads
its notification value or explicitly clears the notification state to 'not pending'
by calling xTaskNotifyStateClear().
xTaskNotifyStateClear() and xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed() are equivalent macros - the only difference
being xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed() can operate on any task notification within the
array and xTaskNotifyStateClear() always operates on the task notification at array index 0.
configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS
must set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h (or be left undefined) for these macros to be available.
The constant
configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES sets the number of indexes in
each task's array of task notifications.
Backward compatibility information:
Prior to FreeRTOS V10.4.0 each task had a single "notification value", and
all task notification API functions operated on that value. Replacing the
single notification value with an array of notification values necessitated a
new set of API functions that could address specific notifications within the
array. xTaskNotifyStateClear() is the original API function, and remains
backward compatible by always operating on the notification value at index 0
within the array. Calling xTaskNotifyStateClear() is equivalent to calling
xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed() with the uxIndexToNotify parameter set to 0.

Parameters:
-
xTask
|
The handle of the RTOS task that will have its notification
state cleared. Set xTask to NULL to clear the notification
state of the calling task.
To obtain a task's handle create the task using
xTaskCreate() and make use of the
pxCreatedTask parameter, or create the task using
xTaskCreateStatic()
and store the returned value, or use the task's name in a
call to xTaskGetHandle().
The handle of the currently executing RTOS task is returned by
the xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle()
API function.
|
uxIndexToClear
|
The index within the target task's array of
notification values to act upon. For example, setting uxIndexToClear to 1
will clear the state of the notification at index 1 within the array.
uxIndexToClear must be less than configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES.
ulTaskNotifyStateClear() does not have this parameter and always acts on the
notification at index 0.

Returns:
-
If the task referenced by xTask had a notification pending, and the notification
was cleared, then pdTRUE is returned. If the task referenced by xTask didn't
have a notification pending then pdFALSE is returned.
Example usage:
[More examples are referenced from the main RTOS task notifications page]
/* An example UART send function. The function starts a UART transmission then
waits to be notified that the transmission is complete. The transmission
complete notification is sent from the UART interrupt. The calling task's
notification state is cleared before the transmission is started to ensure it is
not co-incidentally already pending before the task attempts to block on its
notification state. */
void vSerialPutString( const signed char * const pcStringToSend,
unsigned short usStringLength )
{
const TickType_t xMaxBlockTime = pdMS_TO_TICKS( 5000 );
/* xSendingTask holds the handle of the task waiting for the transmission to
complete. If xSendingTask is NULL then a transmission is not in progress.
Don't start to send a new string unless transmission of the previous string
is complete. */
if( ( xSendingTask == NULL ) && ( usStringLength > 0 ) )
{
/* Ensure the calling task's 0th notification state is not already
pending. */
xTaskNotifyStateClearIndexed( NULL, 0 );
/* Store the handle of the transmitting task. This is used to unblock
the task when the transmission has completed. */
xSendingTask = xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle();
/* Start sending the string - the transmission is then controlled by an
interrupt. */
UARTSendString( pcStringToSend, usStringLength );
/* Wait in the Blocked state (so not using any CPU time) until the UART
ISR sends the 0th notification to xSendingTask to notify (and unblock) the
task when the transmission is complete. */
ulTaskNotifyTake( 0, pdTRUE, xMaxBlockTime );
