DETAILS
GateAll uses disabling and enabling of interrupts, Swis and Tasks for the resource locking mechanism. Such a gate guarantees exclusive access to the CPU. This gate can be used whenever the resource is being shared by Tasks, Swis, and/or Hwis.
The duration between the enter and leave should be as short as possible to minimize Hwi latency.
GateAll inherits from xdc.runtime.IGateProvider, therefore supports nesting.

Definitions:
  • Hwi: API is callable from a Hwi thread.
  • Swi: API is callable from a Swi thread.
  • Task: API is callable from a Task thread.
  • Main: API is callable during any of these phases:
    • In your module startup after this module is started (e.g. GateAll_Module_startupDone() returns TRUE).
    • During xdc.runtime.Startup.lastFxns.
    • During main().
    • During BIOS.startupFxns.
  • Startup: API is callable during any of these phases:
    • During xdc.runtime.Startup.firstFxns.
    • In your module startup before this module is started (e.g. GateAll_Module_startupDone() returns FALSE).
  • *: Assuming blocking Heap is used for creation.

const GateAll_Q_BLOCKING

Blocking quality

C synopsis target-domain
#define GateAll_Q_BLOCKING (Int)1
 
DETAILS
Gates with this "quality" may cause the calling thread to block; i.e., suspend execution until another thread leaves the gate.
 
const GateAll_Q_PREEMPTING

Preempting quality

C synopsis target-domain
#define GateAll_Q_PREEMPTING (Int)2
 
DETAILS
Gates with this "quality" allow other threads to preempt the thread that has already entered the gate.
 
GateAll_query()  // module-wide

Runtime test for a particular gate quality

C synopsis target-domain
Bool GateAll_query(Int qual);
 
ARGUMENTS
qual — constant describing a quality
RETURNS
Returns TRUE if the gate has the given quality, and FALSE otherwise, which includes the case when the gate does not recognize the constant describing the quality.

// Returns the diagnostics mask for this module
 
Void GateAll_Module_setMask(Bits16 mask);
// Set the diagnostics mask for this module
Instance Object Types

C synopsis target-domain
typedef struct GateAll_Object GateAll_Object;
// Opaque internal representation of an instance object
 
typedef GateAll_Object *GateAll_Handle;
// Client reference to an instance object
 
typedef struct GateAll_Struct GateAll_Struct;
// Opaque client structure large enough to hold an instance object
 
GateAll_Handle GateAll_handle(GateAll_Struct *structP);
// Convert this instance structure pointer into an instance handle
 
GateAll_Struct *GateAll_struct(GateAll_Handle handle);
// Convert this instance handle into an instance structure pointer
Instance Config Parameters

C synopsis target-domain
typedef struct GateAll_Params {
// Instance config-params structure
    IInstance_Params *instance;
    // Common per-instance configs
} GateAll_Params;
 
Void GateAll_Params_init(GateAll_Params *params);
// Initialize this config-params structure with supplier-specified defaults before instance creation
Runtime Instance Creation

C synopsis target-domain
GateAll_Handle GateAll_create(const GateAll_Params *params, Error_Block *eb);
// Allocate and initialize a new instance object and return its handle
 
Void GateAll_construct(GateAll_Struct *structP, const GateAll_Params *params);
// Initialize a new instance object inside the provided structure
ARGUMENTS
params — per-instance config params, or NULL to select default values (target-domain only)
eb — active error-handling block, or NULL to select default policy (target-domain only)
Instance Deletion

C synopsis target-domain
Void GateAll_delete(GateAll_Handle *handleP);
// Finalize and free this previously allocated instance object, setting the referenced handle to NULL
 
Void GateAll_destruct(GateAll_Struct *structP);
// Finalize the instance object inside the provided structure
 
GateAll_enter()  // instance

Enter this gate

C synopsis target-domain
IArg GateAll_enter(GateAll_Handle handle);
 
ARGUMENTS
handle — handle of a previously-created GateAll instance object
DETAILS
Each gate provider can implement mutual exclusion using different algorithms; e.g., disabling all scheduling, disabling the scheduling of all threads below a specified "priority level", suspending the caller when the gate has been entered by another thread and re-enabling it when the the other thread leaves the gate. However, in all cases, after this method returns that caller has exclusive access to the data protected by this gate.
A thread may reenter a gate without blocking or failing.
RETURNS
Returns a "key" that is used to leave this gate; this value is used to restore thread preemption to the state that existed just prior to entering this gate.
 
GateAll_leave()  // instance

Leave this gate

C synopsis target-domain
Void GateAll_leave(GateAll_Handle handle, IArg key);
 
ARGUMENTS
handle — handle of a previously-created GateAll instance object
key — the value returned by a matching call to enter
DETAILS
This method is only called by threads that have previously entered this gate via enter. After this method returns, the caller must not access the data structure protected by this gate (unless the caller has entered the gate more than once and other calls to leave remain to balance the number of previous calls to enter).
Instance Convertors

C synopsis target-domain
IGateProvider_Handle GateAll_Handle_upCast(GateAll_Handle handle);
// unconditionally move one level up the inheritance hierarchy
 
GateAll_Handle GateAll_Handle_downCast(IGateProvider_Handle handle);
// conditionally move one level down the inheritance hierarchy; NULL upon failure
Instance Built-Ins

C synopsis target-domain
Int GateAll_Object_count();
// The number of statically-created instance objects
 
GateAll_Handle GateAll_Object_get(GateAll_Object *array, Int i);
// The handle of the i-th statically-created instance object (array == NULL)
 
GateAll_Handle GateAll_Object_first();
// The handle of the first dynamically-created instance object, or NULL
 
GateAll_Handle GateAll_Object_next(GateAll_Handle handle);
// The handle of the next dynamically-created instance object, or NULL
 
IHeap_Handle GateAll_Object_heap();
// The heap used to allocate dynamically-created instance objects
 
Types_Label *GateAll_Handle_label(GateAll_Handle handle, Types_Label *buf);
// The label associated with this instance object
 
String GateAll_Handle_name(GateAll_Handle handle);
// The name of this instance object

const GateAll.Q_BLOCKING

Blocking quality

Configuration settings
const GateAll.Q_BLOCKING = 1;
 
DETAILS
Gates with this "quality" may cause the calling thread to block; i.e., suspend execution until another thread leaves the gate.
C SYNOPSIS
 
const GateAll.Q_PREEMPTING

Preempting quality

Configuration settings
const GateAll.Q_PREEMPTING = 2;
 
DETAILS
Gates with this "quality" allow other threads to preempt the thread that has already entered the gate.
C SYNOPSIS
 
metaonly config GateAll.common$  // module-wide

Common module configuration parameters

Configuration settings
GateAll.common$ = Types.Common$ undefined;
 
DETAILS
All modules have this configuration parameter. Its name contains the '$' character to ensure it does not conflict with configuration parameters declared by the module. This allows new configuration parameters to be added in the future without any chance of breaking existing modules.
 
metaonly GateAll.queryMeta()  // module-wide

Configuration time test for a particular gate quality

Configuration settings
GateAll.queryMeta(Int qual) returns Bool
 
ARGUMENTS
qual — constant describing a quality
RETURNS
Returns TRUE if the gate has the given quality, and FALSE otherwise, which includes the case when the gate does not recognize the constant describing the quality.

Configuration settings
var params = new GateAll.Params;
// Allocate instance config-params
params.config =   ...
// Assign individual configs
 
var inst = GateAll.create(params);
// Create an instance-object
