[lwip-devel] [bug #1902] Timeouts and semaphores/mailboxes are too tightly integrated

[Kieran Mansley]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #1902 (project lwip):

Who me?  I've been avoiding the whole timeouts issue recently as to be honest
I don't fully understand the problem enough to be able to give strong opinions
as to what to do, and haven't had time to bring myself up to speed.

If we could devise a scheme that was sensible and improved the liklihood of
users not hitting the many-threads-in-stack problem that so many seem to do
(I suspect it's usually a timer and an application thread that collide) that
would be great.

I think part of the problem here is that we try to support quite a range of
different applications from those with no OS through to multi-threaded with
OS support, and the facilities and requirements of these vary quite
significantly.
