I have a hard time making this work. Polling a semaphore should not change it in any way, or am I confused by the idea of "polling" and "peeking"?
I can see in semphr.h that the xSemaphore cannot set the "just peeking" boolean to true.
#define xSemaphoreTake( xSemaphore, xBlockTime ) xQueueGenericReceive( ( xQueueHandle ) xSemaphore, NULL, xBlockTime, pdFALSE )
Please enlighten me...
BR, Jonas, DK
RE: Poll binary mutexPosted by Dave on November 5, 2010 Polling the semaphore will change its state if the semaphore is available, yes you are confused between polling and peeking.
