PXERR_OBJ_ABORTED

PXERR_INTERNAL_INCONSISTENCY

Inconsistency of internal structures

DESCRIPTION

The PxMbxRequest_NoWait function creates a mailbox object by converting a free object from object pool opool. If there is no free object available, the PxMbxRequest_NoWait immediately returns with error code PXERR_OBJ_NOOBJ, otherwise it returns the valid mailbox object handle.

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Before call

opoolid must be a valid PXROS-HR object pool and the calling task must have the access right to take objects from this object pool (V). The validity of opoolid may also be checked by the PxOpoolIsValid macro (F).
The object pool must be created on the same core as the caller runs on. The creator core id can be read with the macro PxOpoolCoreId and the own core id with PxGetCoreId (C). Typically the task’s default object pool PXOpoolTaskdefault is used for this purpose.

After call

The returned value is the id of type PxMbx_t. This id may be checked with one of the following macros:
- PxMbxIdIsValid() must be true.
- PxMbxIdGet() must not be _PXIllegalObjId.
- PxMbxIdError() must be PXERR_NOERROR otherwise the returned error code has to be interpreted (C).

Best Practice

PxMbxRequest_NoWait should only be called during initialization to ensure the availability of the mailbox object.
