I'd like to propose a change to RTEMS task variables that I think would
make them more useful. I think that it is early enough in their
existence to still make changes to their API.
1) Change type from `int' to `void *'.
2) Add extra argument to task_variable_add -- if non-NULL, a pointer to
a `destructor' function to be called when the task exits. This function
would be called with that task's value of the task variable as its
argument. In many cases, the `dtor' function could be `free'.
rtems_status_code rtems_task_variable_add (
rtems_id tid, void **ptr, void (*dtor)(void *));
rtems_status_code rtems_task_variable_delete (rtems_id tid, void **ptr);
This would be all we'd need to cleanly and efficiently support C++
per-thread exception information without dragging in all that POSIX API
stuff.

This is the directory under which the RTEMS
test programs provided with the release are located. The
following is a description of the contents of each file and
subdirectory directly in this directory:
NOTE: Other than the 'samples' directory these tests are intended
only to exercise RTEMS features and are *not* good examples
of programming for RTEMS.
samples
This directory contains a set of simple sample applications
which can be used either to test a board support package
or as the starting point for a custom application.
mptests
This directory contains the RTEMS Multiprocessor Test Suite.
The tests in this directory provide near complete (98%+) test
coverage of the multiprocessor specific code in RTEMS.
psxtests
This directory contains the RTEMS POSIX API Test Suite.
The tests in this directory test the POSIX API support in RTEMS.
sptests
This directory contains the RTEMS Single Processor Test Suite.
The tests in this directory provide near complete (98%+) test
coverage of the non-multiprocessor code in RTEMS.
tmtests
This directory contains the RTEMS Timing Test Suite.
The tests in this directory are used to measure the execution
time of RTEMS directive and some critical internal functions.
The results of these test are reported in the Fact Sheets
and Supplental Manuals.
