Hoe to get the Task Number?

Posted by alainm3 on March 15, 2014

Inside vApplicationStackOverflowHook(), I need to get the Task number for error report. How can I get it from the xTaskHandle?

Thanks, Alain

You can use the function:

UBaseTypet uxTaskGetTaskNumber( TaskHandlet xTask );

I'm not sure if that is documented as it is intended for internal and tracing use really. configUSETRACEFACILITY must be set to 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h.

Note if the stack has overflowed then you may find the task handle passed into the hook function is corrupt. In which case you can use the pxCurrentTCB variable to get the handle instead, but you will have to declare it as an extern inside your hook function to make it available.

Finally you could also keep a track of the number of the task that is currently running by defining a trace macro (assuming you are not using the trace macros for anything else). To do that declare a variable in your main.c (or somewhere else suitable) as per:


UBaseType_t uxCurrentTaskNumber = 0;

Then at the bottom of FreeRTOSConfig.h add:


extern UBaseType_t uxCurrentTaskNumber;
#define traceTASK_SWITCHED_IN() uxCurrentTaskNumber = pxCurrentTCB->uxTaskNumber;

then in your hook you can just look at the uxCurrentTaskNumber variable.

Regards.

Hi, thanks for the promp reply :)

the third option is probably the simplest... BUT...

IT ONLY WORKS with pxCurrentTCB->uxTCBNumber !!! uxTaskNumber doesn't seem to be updated and uxTCBNumber is what I get in pxTaskStatusArray (which serves as reference anyway...)

I has to change UBaseType -> portBASETYPE -> long I am using 7.6.0 version because I expect trouble with LWIP. And also because portBASETYPE is defined inside portmacro.h wich is not known to my main.c

NOTE: It's unfortunate that tskTaskControlBlock is defined only inside tasks.c, it would be much easier to use in tasks.h. Maybe not safe... the world isn't perfect...

thanks, Alain
