[Ovmsdev] Event task

Sun Apr 8 16:54:50 HKT 2018

I’ve implemented this (along the lines of what we talked about).

I think the free could be done in the way you suggest, or alternatively I have provided an EventStdFree that you can just tack on the end of the SignalEvent call. It just frees the data.

I’ve also provided a variant of SignalEvent that can be provided with a size_t for the data. That variant clones the data, and defines a cleanup function to free it.

Implementation seems ok. Stack usage looks fine:

It solves my problem with scripts on SD CARD mount for v3.1 hardware.

I’ve committed it as is, and fixed most uses of SignalEvent I could find. There are some in the canopen and RT code that I’ve left for @michael.

I don’t think notifications will work correctly now because they seem to rely on the SignalEvent returning after all the handlers have processed the event (no longer the case). I’m guessing that needs to be changed to use the DoneFN as a callback.

Can you guys have a review of it? I must prefer to run this stuff in one task (Event), but this is a large change and could break a bunch of stuff.

Regards, Mark.
