Detailed Description

Delegate threads code.

Delegate threads.

Operation mode

A delegate thread is a thread performing function calls triggered by other threads. This functionality is especially useful when encapsulating a library not designed for threading into a delegate thread. Other threads have access to the library without having to worry about mutual exclusion.

Precondition

In order to use the pipes APIs the CH_CFG_USE_DELEGATES option must be enabled in chconf.h.

Note

Compatible with RT and NIL.
