* Update AbortDelay.c so it uses both vTaskDelayUntil() and xTaskDelayUntil().
Update TaskNotifyArray.c to prevent false positive test failures that appear to be caused by unwarranted integer promotion.
Add use of xTaskDelayUntil() to blocktim.c
Added tests for xTaskAbortDelayFromISR() into Demo/Common/Minimal/AbortDelay.c.
Added tests for ulTaskNotifyValueClear() into Demo/Common/Minimal/TaskNotify.c.
+ Added xTaskCatchUpTicks() which corrects the tick count value after the application code has held interrupts disabled for an extended period.
+ Updated the xTaskResumeAll() implementation so it uses the new xTaskCatchUpTicks() function mentioned above to unwind ticks that were pended while the scheduler was suspended.
+ Various maintenance on the message buffer, stream buffer and abort delay demos.
+ Change type of uxPendedTicks from UBaseType_t to TickType_t to ensure it has same type as variables it is compared to, and therefore also rename the variable xPendingTicks.
+ Correct spelling mistake within a comment that was common to all the ARMv7-M ports.
Ensure tasks that are blocked indefinitely on a direct to task notification return their state as eBlocked, previously was returned as eSuspended - making its behaviour consistent with event objects.
Fix typo in stream_buffer.c where "size_t xBytesAvailable ); PRIVILEGED_FUNCTION" had the semicolon in the wrong place.
Add testing of Stream Buffers to the AbortDelay.c tests.
Guard inclusion of C code when FreeRTOSConfig.h is included from an assembly file in the ARM7_LPC2129_IAR demo.
Fix minor typos in the Windows demo comment blocks.
Tidy up CEC1302 demo.
Ensure bit 0 of the task address is clear when setting up stack of initial Cortex-M3/4/7 stacks (for strict compliance, although not practically necessary).
vTaskGetTaskInfo() changed to vTaskGetInfo() - with a macro added for backward compatibility.
+ The MPU port is not supported in this revision number.
+ The documentation for the static allocation functions in the header files has not yet been updated for this revision.
Kernel updates:
+ Simplify the static allocation of objects implementation.
+ Introduce configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION in addition to the existing configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION so FreeRTOS can be built without providing a heap at all.
Demo application updates:
+ Update the demos to take into account the new configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION constant.
+ Add an MSVC demo that only uses static allocation, and does not include a FreeRTOS heap.
+ Update the MSVC project to use both configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION and configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
+ Update the MingW project to use only configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION.
- Remove the standard demo files that used the [long since deprecated] alternative API.
- Add standard demo task that tests the new xTaskAbortDelay() function.
- Update the Win32 Visual Studio project to use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
- Rename the xGenericListItem TCB member to xStateListItem as it better describes the member's purpose.
