Hi all, I am about to switch an realtime application from Xenomai to the RT_PREEMPTION patch. Everything works really smooth, however I have one question. With my Xenomai application I use the message queue which combine transfer (including queuing) of data with activation of the thread. In my Xenomai application I use this feature quite frequently. Now, I am not sure how to do an equivalent with the RT_PREEMPT patch. (see http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-2.4/html/api/group__native__queue.html) Of course I could use condition variables and a struct or array to hold the data I want to pass with the activation of a thread. However, using this approach I do not have the queuing (which is some extra effort I could spent...). Another idea I have: I could use sockets which realize the queuing but the overhead is too high. Is there any suitable way to implement a message queue like approach using RT_PREEMPT patch? I am running x86 (Dual/Quad Cores). Thanks for all answers on this question.
