Detailed Description

The EventFlags class is used to control event flags or wait for event flags other threads control.

Note
EventFlags support 31 flags. The MSB flag is ignored. It is used to return an error code (osFlagsError).
Memory considerations: The EventFlags control structures will be created on the current thread's stack, both for the Mbed OS and underlying RTOS objects (static or dynamic RTOS memory pools are not being used).

Definition at line 53 of file EventFlags.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Create and initialize an EventFlags object.

Note
You cannot call this function from ISR context.
EventFlags ( const char *  name)

Create and initialize an EventFlags object.

Parameters
namename to be used for this EventFlags. It has to stay allocated for the lifetime of the thread.
Note
You cannot call this function from ISR context.
~EventFlags ( )

EventFlags destructor.

Note
You cannot call this function from ISR context.

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t clear ( uint32_t  flags = 0x7fffffff)

Clear the specified event flags.

Parameters
flagsthe flags that will be cleared (default: 0x7fffffff – all flags).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
You may call this function from ISR context.
uint32_t get ( ) const

Get the currently set event flags.

Returns
current event flags.
Note
You may call this function from ISR context.
uint32_t set ( uint32_t  flags)

Set the specified event flags.

Parameters
flagsthe flags that will be set.
Returns
event flags after setting or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
This function may be called from ISR context.
uint32_t wait_all ( uint32_t  flags = 0,
uint32_t  millisec = osWaitForever,
bool  clear = true 
)

Wait for all of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters
flagsthe flags to wait for (default: 0 – no flags).
millisectimeout value (default: osWaitForever).
clearclear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
You may call this function from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.
uint32_t wait_all_for ( uint32_t  flags,
Kernel::Clock::duration_u32  rel_time,
bool  clear = true 
)

Wait for all of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters
flagsthe flags to wait for.
rel_timetimeout value.
clearclear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
You may call this function from ISR context if the rel_time parameter is set to 0.
uint32_t wait_all_until ( uint32_t  flags,
Kernel::Clock::time_point  abs_time,
bool  clear = true 
)

Wait for all of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters
flagsthe flags to wait for.
abs_timetimeout value.
clearclear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
You cannot call this function from ISR context.
uint32_t wait_any ( uint32_t  flags = 0,
uint32_t  millisec = osWaitForever,
bool  clear = true 
)

Wait for any of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters
flagsthe flags to wait for (default: 0 – no flags).
millisectimeout value (default: osWaitForever).
clearclear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
This function may be called from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.
uint32_t wait_any_for ( uint32_t  flags,
Kernel::Clock::duration_u32  rel_time,
bool  clear = true 
)

Wait for any of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters
flagsthe flags to wait for.
rel_timetimeout value.
clearclear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
This function may be called from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.
uint32_t wait_any_until ( uint32_t  flags,
Kernel::Clock::time_point  abs_time,
bool  clear = true 
)

Wait for any of the specified event flags to become signaled.

Parameters
flagsthe flags to wait for.
abs_timetimeout value.
clearclear specified event flags after waiting for them (default: true).
Returns
event flags before clearing or error code if highest bit set (see osFlagsError for details).
Note
You cannot call this function from ISR context.
