(...) I'd go with the flag, myself. (...) Its certainly possible for the client timer to reinsert itself - therefore the recurring timer is not strictly required. It could be left out for space reasons. I'd probably either take it out and make it (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hello. I have finally got gcc 2.95.3 - the official brickos compiler - installed on my computer (SUSE Linux). I can type "make" and compile all the brickos directory fine. firmdl3 works fine.

(...) It would seem reasonable to check the location of the struct; if in kernel memory, don't remove; if in user memory, remove. However, you could add a flag to the timer struct which could use T_KERNEL and T_USER flags. (...) I looked quickly (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) You are right. I found in an app that I was using that if I pressed the run / stop button, my task would be killed, and leave a dangling timer - which would usually blow the little brick into the weeds :o) I 'solved' it in a crude way by (...)

Hello everybody. I’ve been fooling around with BrickOS in the last few weeks, becoming familiar with it. BrickOS is very cool. Thank you, those who have made it what it is, and thank you, those who help out those with the common problems (yes, I had (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

IIRC the issue was that Task, Process and Thread were all used to represent the same item/concept in the Kernel code.
