|
|
Enable support for the exec[l|v] family of functions that can be
|
|
used to start other programs, terminating the current program and
|
|
the posix_spawn() familty of functions that can be used start other
|
|
programs without terminating the current program. The typical
|
|
usage of the exec[l|v] functions is (1) first call vfork() to create
|
|
a new thread, then (2) call exec[l|v] to replace the new thread with
|
|
a program from the file system.
|
|
|
|
NOTE 1: This two step process start is completely unnecessary in
|
|
NuttX and is provided only for compatibily with Unix systems. These
|
|
functions are essentially just wrapper functions that (1) call the
|
|
non-standard binfmt function 'exec', and then (2) exit(0). Since
|
|
the new thread will be terminated by the exec[l|v] call, it really
|
|
served no purpose other than to suport Unix compatility.
|
|
|
|
The posix_spawn() functions do not have this inefficiency.
|
|
|
|
NOTE 2: Support for exec[l|v] and posix_spawn() is conditional
|
|
because they require additional support for symbol tables that
|
|
will not be available in the typical system.

If you have a system symbol table, then you may select this
|
|
option in order to use it. Symbol tables are required in most
|
|
cases in order to link executable programs to the base code.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This option only pre-initializes the system symbol table as
|
|
defined by CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB_ARRAY and CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR.
|
|
This is simply an optional, automatic initialization of the
|
|
system symbol table. You would need to do this, for example, in
|
|
in the kernel build were the first task must be run from a program
|
|
on the file system. This option has no other effect.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can always call binfmt_setsymtab() from your
|
|
board-specific logic or, equivalently, call boardctl(BOARDIOC_APP_SYMTAB)
|
|
from your application initialization logic.

The exec[l|v] and posix_spawn() functions are wrapper functions that

If posix_spawn[p]() and task_spawn() use I/O redirection options,

they will require an intermediary/proxy task to muck with the file
