2015-12-24api: Remove deprecated NotepadsAun-Ali Zaidi1-138/+3
Notepads where a feature of RTEMS' tasks that simply functioned in the same way as POSIX keys or threaded local storage (TLS). They were introduced well before per task variables, which are also deprecated, and were barely used in favor of their POSIX alternatives. In addition to their scarce usage, Notepads took up unnecessary memory. For each task: - 16 32-bit integers were allocated. - A total of 64 bytes per task per thread. This is especially critical in low memory and safety-critical applications. They are also defined as uint32_t, and therefore are not guaranteed to hold a pointer. Lastly, they are not portable solutions for SMP and uniprocessor systems, like POSIX keys and TLS. updates #2493.

2015-03-10cpukit: deprecate notepadsGedare Bloom1-0/+5
Deprecate Classic API Notepads. Mark task_set/get_note() with the deprecated attribute, and also mark the notepads field. Replace disable with enable option for notepads in confdefs.h, and make notepads disabled by default. The previous option CONFIGURE_DISABLE_CLASSIC_API_NOTEPADS is now unused and will emit a compile-time warning. A new option CONFIGURE_ENABLE_CLASSIC_API_NOTEPADS is available to turn on notepads, but it also will emit a compile-time warning to indicate that notepads are deprecated. Closes #2265

Per task variables are inherently unsafe in SMP systems. This patch disables them from the build and adds warnings in the appropriate documentation and configuration sections.

Script does what is expected and tries to do it as smartly as possible. + remove occurrences of two blank comment lines next to each other after Id string line removed. + remove entire comment blocks which only exited to contain CVS Ids + If the processing left a blank line at the top of a file, it was removed.
