-Move task_init() and task_activate() prototypes from include/sched.h to include/nuttx/sched.h. These are internal OS functions and should not be exposed to the user.
-Remove references to task_init() and task_activate() from the User Manual.
-Rename task_init() to nxtask_init() since since it is an OS internal function
-Rename task_activate() to nxtask_activate since it is an OS internal function
This commit resolves issue #620:
Remove CONFIG_CAN_PASS_STRUCTS #620
The configuration option CONFIG_CAN_PASS_STRUCTS was added many years ago to support an old version of the SDCC compiler. That compiler is currently used only with the Z80 and Z180 targets. The limitation of that old compiler was that it could not pass structures or unions as either inputs or outputs. For example:
#ifdef CONFIG_CAN_PASS_STRUCTS
struct mallinfo mallinfo(void);
#else
int mallinfo(FAR struct mallinfo *info);
#endif
And even leads to violation of a few POSIX interfaces like:
#ifdef CONFIG_CAN_PASS_STRUCTS
int sigqueue(int pid, int signo, union sigval value);
#else
int sigqueue(int pid, int signo, FAR void *sival_ptr);
#endif
This breaks the 1st INVIOLABLES rule:
Strict POSIX compliance
-----------------------
o Strict conformance to the portable standard OS interface as defined at
OpenGroup.org.
o A deeply embedded system requires some special support. Special
support must be minimized.
o The portable interface must never be compromised only for the sake of
expediency.
o Expediency or even improved performance are not justifications for
violation of the strict POSIX interface
Also, it appears that the current SDCC compilers have resolve this issue and so, perhaps, this is no longer a problem: z88dk/z88dk#1132
NOTE: This commit cannot pass the PR checks because it depends on matching changes to the apps/ directory.
When a build does not want to use wide or multibyte char
CONFIG_LIBC_WCHAR is not set. Therefore we should to only
export the wc/mb functions when defined.
Regardless of the stat of CONFIG_LIBC_WCHAR the non mb/wc
definitions such as mbstate_t, wint_t, wctype_t need to be
exported.
and will generate a link error if CONFIG_LIBC_LOCALE is not defined
and setlocale is referneced. With CONFIG_LIBC_LOCALE defined
setlocale will act as if MB string is not supported and return
"C" for POSIX. C and ""
