[FreeRTOS Home] [Live FreeRTOS Forum] [FAQ] [Archive Top] [January 2007 Threads] Calling xTaskCreate from within a taskPosted by Nobody/Anonymous on January 31, 2007 Is it safe to call xTaskCreate() from within a task that is then removed from memory, either by exiting normally or being killed off before the second tasks completes?
I can see that doing this will obviously cause memory fragmentation, but could there be any other side effects or lack of portability?
RE: Calling xTaskCreate from within a taskPosted by embeddedc on January 31, 2007 xTaskCreate() can be called from within a task. There is no link between the task that created it and the created task so you can safely delete either one without upsetting the other.
To delete a task you must call vTaskDelete(), not just run off the end of the task function. You can do this:
void task( void* ) { while( 1 ) { task code. }
vTaskDelete( NULL ); }
to delete the task if the while loop ever exits.
RE: Calling xTaskCreate from within a taskPosted by Nobody/Anonymous on February 1, 2007 I did not know about the mandatory calling of vTaskDelete(NULL) before a task function reaches its end. Is this mandatory in all cases?
