[lwip-devel] [task #6683] Document lwIPs thread safety requirements

[Jonathan Larmour]

Follow-up Comment #17, task #6683 (project lwip):

This may not be as helpful as it initially sounds, but I've written some
documentation for lwIP for the commercial version of eCos I am involved with
(called eCosPro). Much of it is derived (with acknowledgements, fear not)
from one of Adam Dunkel's documents; but updated to reflect the current
status.

Unfortunately it's not so helpful because:
- The Powers That Be restrict distribution on this ("Distribution of the work
or derivative of the work in any form is prohibited unless prior permission
obtained from the copyright holder.") as per
http://www.ecoscentric.com/ecospro/doc/html/ecospro-ref/ecospro-ref.html

- it's slanted specifically towards the eCosPro port, which is even different
from the eCos port, and has several patches (some of them contributed back
though) relative to the lwIP it was originally branched from (1.1.1).

Nevertheless, there would be no problem linking to it. However I won't be
offended if you don't want to, given the above drawbacks.

The direct link is:
http://www.ecoscentric.com/ecospro/doc/html/ecospro-ref/lwip.html

(In case you're wondering, the reason for the restrictions is so that we can
recoup the investment made in the first place - once that is done, we would
hopefully be able to relax things).
