uxQueueMessagesWaiting( ( QueueHandle_t ) ( xSemaphore ) )

semphr.h

UBaseType_t uxSemaphoreGetCount( SemaphoreHandle_t xMutex );

If the semaphore is a counting semaphore then uxSemaphoreGetCount() returns its current count value. If the semaphore is a binary semaphore then uxSemaphoreGetCount() returns 1 if the semaphore is available, and 0 if the semaphore is not available.

#define vSemaphoreDelete

#define xSemaphoreGetMutexHolder

xQueueGetMutexHolder( ( xSemaphore ) )

semphr.h

TaskHandle_t xSemaphoreGetMutexHolder( SemaphoreHandle_t xMutex );

If xMutex is indeed a mutex type semaphore, return the current mutex holder. If xMutex is not a mutex type semaphore, or the mutex is available (not held by a task), return NULL.

Note: This is a good way of determining if the calling task is the mutex holder, but not a good way of determining the identity of the mutex holder as the holder may change between the function exiting and the returned value being tested.

xSemaphoreTakeFromISR(
                         SemaphoreHandle_t xSemaphore,
                         BaseType_t *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken
                     )

Macro to take a semaphore from an ISR. The semaphore must have previously been created with a call to xSemaphoreCreateBinary() or xSemaphoreCreateCounting().

Mutex type semaphores (those created using a call to xSemaphoreCreateMutex()) must not be used with this macro.

This macro can be used from an ISR, however taking a semaphore from an ISR is not a common operation. It is likely to only be useful when taking a counting semaphore when an interrupt is obtaining an object from a resource pool (when the semaphore count indicates the number of resources available).

Parameters

xSemaphore	A handle to the semaphore being taken. This is the handle returned when the semaphore was created.
pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken	xSemaphoreTakeFromISR() will set *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken to pdTRUE if taking the semaphore caused a task to unblock, and the unblocked task has a priority higher than the currently running task. If xSemaphoreTakeFromISR() sets this value to pdTRUE then a context switch should be requested before the interrupt is exited.

Returns

pdTRUE if the semaphore was successfully taken, otherwise pdFALSE
