[ECOS] RE: cyg_thread_delay problem?

Hi to all,
I trace cyg_thread_delay() function further, I find that the delay variable is missing when call set_timer.
Set_timer is a inline function as below.  When call self()->timer.initialize(trigger), the parameter trigger is zero.
So the alarm function is called and current thread return to running state.

So I think if it's a complier problem. I use gcc3.2.1 as complier. Is there any possible reason that causes this problem.


inline void Cyg_Thread::set_timer(
    cyg_tick_count      trigger,
    cyg_reason          reason
)
{
#ifdef CYGFUN_KERNEL_THREADS_TIMER
    self()->sleep_reason = reason;
    self()->wake_reason = NONE;
    self()->timer.initialize( trigger);
#endif
}

void
Cyg_Thread::delay( cyg_tick_count delay)
{
    CYG_REPORT_FUNCTION();

    CYG_INSTRUMENT_THREAD(DELAY,this,delay);

    Cyg_Scheduler::lock();
    
    sleep();

    set_timer( Cyg_Clock::real_time_clock->current_value()+delay, DELAY );

    Cyg_Scheduler::unlock();

  <---- more ---->
}

 Hi to all,
 
 I use cyg_thread_delay function but it doesn't work. It returns immediately.
 I trace the function and find that when execute Cyg_Scheduler::unlock()
it can't swith to another thread. 

void
Cyg_Thread::delay( cyg_tick_count delay)
{
    CYG_REPORT_FUNCTION();

#ifdef CYGFUN_KERNEL_THREADS_TIMER

    CYG_INSTRUMENT_THREAD(DELAY,this,delay);

    // Prevent preemption
    Cyg_Scheduler::lock();
    
    sleep();

    set_timer( Cyg_Clock::real_time_clock->current_value()+delay, DELAY );

    // Unlock the scheduler and maybe switch threads
    Cyg_Scheduler::unlock();

    // Clear the timeout. It is irrelevant whether the alarm has
    // actually gone off or not.
    clear_timer();

    // and deal with anything else we must do when we return
    switch( wake_reason ) {
    case DESTRUCT:
    case EXIT:            
        exit();
        break;
        
    default:
        break;
    }
#endif
    CYG_REPORT_RETURN();
}


 The cyg_current_time() function works correcttly, so the
 real time clock also works. So could you tell me what is wrong?
 And what should I do?
 
 Thank you very much.
