For control and maintenance of + the queue, RTEMS allocates and initializes a QCB. Memory is allocated from + the RTEMS Workspace for the specified count of messages, each of + max_message_size bytes in length. The RTEMS-assigned queue id, returned in + id, is used to access the message queue. + + Specifying ``RTEMS_PRIORITY`` in attribute_set causes tasks waiting for a + message to be serviced according to task priority. When ``RTEMS_FIFO`` is + specified, waiting tasks are serviced in First In-First Out order. + +NOTES: + This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted due to an + obtain and release of the object allocator mutex. + + The following message queue attribute constants are defined by RTEMS: + + .. list-table:: + :class: rtems-table + + * - ``RTEMS_FIFO`` + - tasks wait by FIFO (default) + * - ``RTEMS_PRIORITY`` + - tasks wait by priority + * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL`` + - local message queue (default) + * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` + - global message queue + + Message queues should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact + with the created message queue. This is to avoid the system overhead + incurred by the creation of a global message queue. When a global message + queue is created, the message queue's name and id must be transmitted to + every node in the system for insertion in the local copy of the global + object table. + + For GLOBAL message queues, the maximum message size is effectively limited + to the longest message which the MPCI is capable of transmitting. + + The total number of global objects, including message queues, is limited by + the ``maximum_global_objects`` field in the configuration table. + +.. raw:: latex + + \clearpage + +.. index:: get ID of a message queue +.. index:: rtems_message_queue_ident + +.. _rtems_message_queue_ident: + +MESSAGE_QUEUE_IDENT - Get ID of a queue +--------------------------------------- + +CALLING SEQUENCE: + .. code-block:: c + + rtems_status_code rtems_message_queue_ident( + rtems_name name, + uint32_t node, + rtems_id *id + ); + +DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES: + .. list-table:: + :class: rtems-table + + * - ``RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`` + - queue identified successfully + * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`` + - ``id`` is NULL + * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_NAME`` + - queue name not found + * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_NODE`` + - invalid node id + +DESCRIPTION: + This directive obtains the queue id associated with the queue name + specified in name. If the queue name is not unique, then the queue id will + match one of the queues with that name. However, this queue id is not + guaranteed to correspond to the desired queue. The queue id is used with + other message related directives to access the message queue. + +NOTES: + This directive will not cause the running task to be preempted. + + If node is ``RTEMS_SEARCH_ALL_NODES``, all nodes are searched with the + local node being searched first. All other nodes are searched with the + lowest numbered node searched first. + + If node is a valid node number which does not represent the local node, + then only the message queues exported by the designated node are searched. + + This directive does not generate activity on remote nodes.

As a result + of this directive, all tasks blocked waiting to receive a message from this + queue will be readied and returned a status code which indicates that the + message queue was deleted. If no tasks are waiting, but the queue contains + messages, then RTEMS returns these message buffers back to the system + message buffer pool. The QCB for this queue as well as the memory for the + message buffers is reclaimed by RTEMS. + +NOTES: + This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted due to an + obtain and release of the object allocator mutex. + + The calling task will be preempted if its preemption mode is enabled and + one or more local tasks with a higher priority than the calling task are + waiting on the deleted queue. The calling task will NOT be preempted if + the tasks that are waiting are remote tasks. + + The calling task does not have to be the task that created the queue, + although the task and queue must reside on the same node. + + When the queue is deleted, any messages in the queue are returned to the + free message buffer pool.

Before a task + is unblocked, the message buffer of size byes in length is copied to that + task's message buffer. The number of tasks that were unblocked is returned + in count. + +NOTES: + The calling task will be preempted if it has preemption enabled and a + higher priority task is unblocked as the result of this directive. + + The execution time of this directive is directly related to the number of + tasks waiting on the message queue, although it is more efficient than the + equivalent number of invocations of ``rtems_message_queue_send``. + + Broadcasting a message to a global message queue which does not reside on + the local node will generate a request telling the remote node to broadcast + the message to the specified message queue. + + When a task is unblocked which resides on a different node from the message + queue, a copy of the message is forwarded to the appropriate node, the + waiting task is unblocked, and the proxy used to represent the task is + reclaimed. + +.. raw:: latex + + \clearpage + +.. index:: receive message from a queue +.. index:: rtems_message_queue_receive + +.. _rtems_message_queue_receive: + +MESSAGE_QUEUE_RECEIVE - Receive message from a queue +---------------------------------------------------- + +CALLING SEQUENCE: + .. code-block:: c + + rtems_status_code rtems_message_queue_receive( + rtems_id id, + void *buffer, + size_t *size, + rtems_option option_set, + rtems_interval timeout + ); + +DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES: + .. list-table:: + :class: rtems-table + + * - ``RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`` + - message received successfully + * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_ID`` + - invalid queue id + * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`` + - ``buffer`` is NULL + * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`` + - ``size`` is NULL + * - ``RTEMS_UNSATISFIED`` + - queue is empty + * - ``RTEMS_TIMEOUT`` + - timed out waiting for message + * - ``RTEMS_OBJECT_WAS_DELETED`` + - queue deleted while waiting + +DESCRIPTION: + This directive receives a message from the message queue specified in id. + The ``RTEMS_WAIT`` and ``RTEMS_NO_WAIT`` options of the options parameter + allow the calling task to specify whether to wait for a message to become + available or return immediately. For either option, if there is at least + one message in the queue, then it is copied to buffer, size is set to + return the length of the message in bytes, and this directive returns + immediately with a successful return code. The buffer has to be big enough + to receive a message of the maximum length with respect to this message + queue. + + If the calling task chooses to return immediately and the queue is empty, + then a status code indicating this condition is returned. If the calling + task chooses to wait at the message queue and the queue is empty, then the + calling task is placed on the message wait queue and blocked. If the queue + was created with the ``RTEMS_PRIORITY`` option specified, then the calling + task is inserted into the wait queue according to its priority. But, if + the queue was created with the ``RTEMS_FIFO`` option specified, then the + calling task is placed at the rear of the wait queue. + + A task choosing to wait at the queue can optionally specify a timeout value + in the timeout parameter. The timeout parameter specifies the maximum + interval to wait before the calling task desires to be unblocked.
