is SemaphoreCreate() broken?

Posted by Sean Gallagher at May 16. 2008

I'm having problems getting SemaphoreCreate() to return anything other than NULL. It appears to be queue-based... are there any things, like low-memory, that might cause it to consistently fail? The last time I implemented a semaphore myself was during the Reagan administration, so I'd like to avoid it if I can. Regards, Sean

As far as I can remember, SemaphoreCreate() is a straight wrapper around the FreeRTOS function - you might want to take a peek in there and make sure nothing silly is going on. I think that particular function may not get too much exercise, so it's possible something funny is going on.
