Protothreads
PostPosted: Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:13 pm     Reply with quote

Below is a ported and modified version of Adam Dunkel's protothread library. His original idea and library can be found here:
http://dunkels.com/adam/pt/

Protothreads are a stackless, OS-less, pseudo thread construct that allows cooperative like scheduling between each other. Be aware that since they are stackless, automatic variables within threads are not saved between each run.

CCS Does not support standard local continuations like most ANSI compilers do. However, the CCS compiler does provide label_address() and goto_address() which can be used to implement the same type of logic (though at a steeper ROM cost).

There were some functional design changes as well, which are documented in the code. If you are opposed to them, feel free to update your version with the logic from Adam Dunkel's site.

Finally, I defaulted the implementation to rely on reference parameters instead of pointers. This is because the indirect accessing of the pointers led to much larger ROM usage. Moving to reference parameters reduces the ROM cost as long as you aren't calling the same thread function in more than one place (then there are tradeoffs depending on the size of the thread and number of times it is called, etc.). If you absolutely hate references or find they are taking up more ROM than pointers would, there is a #define in the code that can be commented out so that pointers can be used. Just make sure to update all your thread prototypes and calls to match.

This was tested using PCWHD v5.025 on the PIC24FJ64GA004. It has not been tested on other platforms. I did not individually test out all the comment examples, so if any have a major issue let me know.

protothreads.h
Code:

/******************************************************************************
* NAME:  protothreads.h
* AUTH:  Jeremiah (Reworked from Adam Dunkel's code)
* DESC:  Provides a stackless, OS-less, low RAM implementation of cooperative
*        multithreading for the CCS compiler environment.  Based off of the
*        protothreads library provided by Adam Dunkel, but with modifications
*        for the CCS compiler environment.  Specifically:
*           1. CCS doesn't support local continuations, so compiler extensions
*              are used instead.  label_address() and goto_address()
*           2. Removal of do{}while() loops as they generate compiler warnings
*              and are not needed for CCS.
*           3. Changed PT_END() and PT_EXIT() to not reset the local
*              continuation but instead remember the thread finished.
*           4. Re-orged a few macros to better optimize with CCS.
*           5. Changed PT_YIELD_FLAG=0 to PT_YIELD_FLAG=PT_YIELD_FLAG in the
*              PT_END() macro
*           6. Removed PT_THREAD() and replaced it with pt_ret_t
*           7. Added (and defaulted to) the use of reference parameters since
*              those provide less code in most general scenarios.  A #define
*              can be commented out to go back to pointers.
*        Copyright notice from Adam Dunkels code provided near the end of the
*        file.
*
*        TYPES:
*           pt_t     - Protothread context type
*           pt_ret_t - Protothread return type
*                          PT_WAITING - Thread is waiting/blocking
*                          PT_YIELDED - Thread yielded
*                          PT_EXITED  - Thread ended abnormally
*                          PT_ENDED   - Thread ended normally
*           pt_sem_t - Protothread semiphore type
*
*        MACROS:
*           PT_INIT()  - Must be called prior to scheduling a thread
*           PT_BEGIN() - Must be called at the beginning of a protothread.
*           PT_END()   - Must be called at the end of a protothread (once)
*           PT_WAIT_WHILE() - Used to block a thread while a condition is TRUE
*           PT_WAIT_UNTIL() - Used to block a thread until a condition is TRUE
*           PT_YIELD()       - Yields the current thread
*           PT_YIELD_WHILE() - Yields current thread while a condition is TRUE
*           PT_YIELD_UNTIL() - Yields current thread until a condition is TRUE
*           PT_RESTART() - Restarts the current thread
*           PT_EXIT()    - Exits the current thread
*           PT_SCHEDULE()    - Schedules a thread from a non-thread method
*           PT_WAIT_THREAD() - Spawns a child thread and waits on it to end
*           PT_SPAWN()       - Same as PT_WAIT_THREAD() but with PT_INIT()
*           PT_SEM_INIT()   - Initializes a semiphore
*           PT_SEM_WAIT()   - Waits on a semiphore signal (decrements count)
*           PT_SEM_SIGNAL() - Sends a semiphore signal (increments count)
*
* COMPILED WITH:  CCS PCWHD Revision 5.025

* HISTORY: 
* 02/20/2014 - JHB - Creation
