Re: [lwip-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: LWIP_NETCONN_FULLDUPLEX sys_mbox_free example

Simon,

I actually just implemented a new LWIP_NETCONN_THREAD_SEM_CHECK(sem) macro that 
checks if the thread specific semaphore is valid. Basically, as a temporary 
solution, I am keeping track of all the threads that created semaphores using 
LWIP_NETCONN_THREAD_SEM_GET, and I compare against them using a global array of 
the taskHandles and pvTaskGetThreadLocalStoragePointer. I only perform the 
sys_sem_signal if it is valid.

Seems to work for now. Still need to do some in depth testing, but I am not 
getting the halts or crashes.

Thanks,
Chris

Well, it wasn't actually being reported. That was me adding a bug to remember 
to fix it before release...
I don't know how widely use full-duplex is.

I'd doubt that. The STM32 only has a single core and you'd be better off using 
the available processor cycles in a single thread (via select) than sharing it 
between multiple threads.

I don't know RabbitMq can handle this, though.

Well, since there's no pressure behind this (and noone pays me for that 
full-duplex thing), I really can't tell.
