QNXRTP Pulses

Hello,
I am porting a driver from QNX4.25 to QNXRTP and I have to replace the
proxies with pulses. So I am trying to get myself familiarised with the
pulses stuff. I wrote a small program, as shown below and it says “Unknown
error”. Can anybody please tell me why??.

Thanks,
Tray.


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/neutrino.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/iomsg.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main()
{
int receiveId, channelId, connectionId;

if( (channelId = ChannelCreate(_NTO_CHF_UNBLOCK) ) == -1)
printf(“Error creating a channel \n”);
else
printf(“The channel id is %d\n”, channelId);
if( (connectionId = ConnectAttach( 0, 0, channelId, _NTO_SIDE_CHANNEL, 0))
== -1)
printf(“error connecting to the channel %d\n”, channelId);
else
printf(“The connection Id is %d\n”, connectionId);

if( MsgSendPulse(connectionId, NULL, _PULSE_CODE_MINAVAIL + 5, 32) != -1)
printf(“Pulse with code %d and value %d has been sent. \n”,
_PULSE_CODE_MINAVAIL + 5, 32);
else
{
switch (errno)
{
case EAGAIN:
printf(“Kernel insufficient resources.\n”);
break;

case EBADF:
printf(“Invalid connection Id.\n”);
break;

case EFAULT:
printf(“Fault on accessing the buffers.\n”);
break;

case EPERM:
printf(“Permissions invalid.\n”);
break;

case ESRVRFAULT:
printf(“Fault in the servers address space.\n”);
break;

default:
printf(“Unknown error\n”);
}
}

return 0;
}

hello,
i modified the program and checked out the errno and it is 22-----which
means invalid argument. well, i wanted the priority to be that of the
calling process and so specified it as NULL. thats what is causing the
problem. so i got the priority of the calling process using getpriority()
and passed getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0) + 1 as the priority argument for
MsgSendPulse(…).

My program is now working but still i dont understand why cant i send a
pulse at the priority of the calling process??? Any answers to my query
will be greatly appreciated. Anyways, I am sending the program which is
working properly.
Thanks,
Tray.

hello,
thank you so much xiaodan, it is working. but my question is why cant
the priority of the calling process and the pulse be the same??? why is
it prohibited in the QNX neutrino architecture.
thanks,

You want the priority of the pulse be the same as the calling process,
right? Use SIGEV_PULSE_PRIO_INHERIT means that.

NULL (or 0) is not a valid priority, that’s why EINVAL.

If you look at MsgSendPulse() document, it tells you how to get min/max
possiable priority.

You want the priority of the pulse be the same as the calling process,
right? Use SIGEV_PULSE_PRIO_INHERIT means that.

Well that is not exactly a true statement. It means that the pulse will
be delivered an will attempt to use the same priority as the target that
it is destined for at the time that the pulse was generated. Since a pulse
can be destined for multiple threads each running at different priorities
it hits at the priority of the process. (The astute reader at this time
will note that processes aren’t schedulable entities, but do have a base
priority).

NULL (or 0) is not a valid priority, that’s why EINVAL.

If you look at MsgSendPulse() document, it tells you how to get min/max
possiable priority.

hello,
i modified the program and checked out the errno and it is
22-----which
means invalid argument. well, i wanted the priority to be that of the
calling process and so specified it as NULL. thats what is causing the
problem. so i got the priority of the calling process using
getpriority()
and passed getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0) + 1 as the priority argument for
MsgSendPulse(…).

Don’t use NULL, use “SIGEV_PULSE_PRIO_INHERIT” (which is defined in
sys/siginfo.h)

My program is now working but still i dont understand why cant i send a
pulse at the priority of the calling process??? Any answers to my
query
will be greatly appreciated. Anyways, I am sending the program which is
working properly.
Thanks,
Tray.

Hello,
I am porting a driver from QNX4.25 to QNXRTP and I have to replace
the
proxies with pulses. So I am trying to get myself familiarised with the
pulses stuff. I wrote a small program, as shown below and it says
“Unknown
error”. Can anybody please tell me why??.

Thanks,
Tray.
