DESCRIPTION










The PxMsgEnvelop_NoWait function envelops a data area specified by arguments data_area (start address) and msgsize (size in bytes) in a new message object taken from object pool opool. The message object handle is returned. If there is no free object available, the PxMsgEnvelop_EvWait immediately returns with error code PXERR_OBJ_NOOBJ.














In contrast to normal message object, The newly created envelope message object has implicitly set the await release flag. It is possible to wait for the message object release with function PxMsgAwaitRel or PxMsgAwaitRel_EvWait or check the release state by function PxMsgAwaitRel_NoWait.














The task that called PxMsgEnvelop_EvWait becomes the (permanent) owner and the (temporary) user of the created message. The task’s access rights to the data area is marked in the message object and can be read by calling PxMsgGetProtection. The owner may restrict the access right by calling PxMsgSetProtection.






















IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES
















Before call






    

  • 

    data_area must be a pointer to a valid data area.
    

    • 

  • 

    msgsize must be a plausible value given as a constant (V) or a variable (C).
    

    • 

  • 

    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 PxMsg_t. This id may be checked with one of the following macros:
    

    

      

    • 

      PxMsgIdIsValid() must be true.
      

      • 

    • 

      PxMsgIdGet() must not be _PXIllegalObjId.
      

      • 

    • 

      PxMsgIdError() must be PXERR_NOERROR otherwise the returned error code has to be interpreted (C).
      

      • 

    

    

    • 



















Best Practice






    

  • 

    If the message requested with PxMsgEnvelop_NoWait is sent to another task, the data_area must not be accessed by the requesting task until the recipient releases the message. PxMsgAwaitRel may be used to await the message’s release.

if (PxMsgIdIsValid (msgHnd)) {
    // Handle message
}
else {
    // Report error
