Outline

Wait for eventflag (waiting forever).

C format

 ER      wai_flg (ID flgid, FLGPTN waiptn, MODE wfmode, FLGPTN *p_flgptn);

Parameter(s)

I/O	Parameter	Description
I	ID flgid;	ID number of the eventflag.
I	FLGPTN waiptn;	Wait bit pattern.
I	MODE wfmode;	Wait mode. TWF_ANDW: AND waiting condition. TWF_ORW: OR waiting condition.
O	FLGPTN *p_flgptn;	Bit pattern causing a task to be released from waiting.

Explanation

This service call checks whether the bit pattern specified by parameter waiptn and the bit pattern that satisfies the required condition specified by parameter wfmode are set to the eventflag specified by parameter flgid.

If a bit pattern that satisfies the required condition has been set for the target eventflag, the bit pattern of the target eventflag is stored in the area specified by parameter p_flgptn.

If the bit pattern of the target eventflag does not satisfy the required condition when this service call is issued, the invoking task is queued to the target eventflag wait queue.

As a result, the invoking task is unlinked from the ready queue and is moved from the RUNNING state to the WAITING state (WAITING state for an eventflag).

The WAITING state for an eventflag is cancelled in the following cases.

WAITING State for an Eventflag Cancel Operation	Return Value
A bit pattern that satisfies the required condition was set to the target eventflag as a result of issuing set_flg.	E_OK
A bit pattern that satisfies the required condition was set to the target eventflag as a result of issuing iset_flg.	E_OK
Forced release from waiting (accept rel_wai while waiting).	E_RLWAI
Forced release from waiting (accept irel_wai while waiting).	E_RLWAI
Forced release from waiting (accept del_flg while waiting).	E_DLT

The following shows the specification format of required condition wfmode.

- wfmode == TWF_ANDW
Checks whether all of the bits to which 1 is set by parameter waiptn are set as the target eventflag.

- wfmode == TWF_ORW
Checks which bit, among bits to which 1 is set by parameter waiptn, is set as the target eventflag.

Note 1 With the RI600PX, whether to enable queuing of multiple tasks to the event flag wait queue is defined at eventflag creation. If this service call is issued for the event flag (TA_WSGL attribute) to which a wait task is queued, therefore, "E_ILUSE" is returned regardless of whether the required condition is immediately satisfied.

TA_WSGL: Only one task is allowed to be in the WAITING state for the eventflag.

TA_WMUL: Multiple tasks are allowed to be in the WAITING state for the eventflag.

Note 2 Invoking tasks are queued to the target event flag (TA_WMUL attribute) wait queue in the order specified at creating the eventflag (FIFO order or current priority order).
However, when the TA_CLR attribute is not specified, the wait queue is managed in the FIFO order even if the priority order is specified. This behavior falls outside mITRON4.0 specification.

Note 3 The RI600PX performs bit pattern clear processing (0 setting) when the required condition of the target eventflag (TA_CLR attribute) is satisfied.

Return value

Macro	Value	Description
E_OK	0	Normal completion.
E_PAR	-17	Parameter error. - waiptn == 0 - wfmode is invalid. - p_flgptn == NULL
E_ID	-18	Invalid ID number. - flgid < 0 - flgid > VTMAX_FLG
E_CTX	-25	Context error. - This service call was issued from a non-task. - This service call was issued in the CPU locked state. - This service call was issued in the dispatching disabled state. - This service call was issued in the status "PSW.IPL > kernel interrupt mask level".
E_MACV	-26	Memory access violation. - Stack pointer points out of user stack for invoking task. - The operand-write access to the area indicated by p_flgptn has not been permitted to the invoking task.
E_ILUSE	-28	Illegal use of service call. - There is already a task waiting for an eventflag with the TA_WSGL attribute.
E_NOEXS	-42	Non-existent object. - The eventflag specified by flgid does not exist.
E_RLWAI	-49	Forced release from the WAITING state. - Accept rel_wai/irel_wai while waiting.
E_DLT	-51	Waiting object deleted. - Accept del_flg while waiting.
