//  Since WRS does not yet properly support boost under vxWorks
//  and this file was badly outdated, but I was keen on using it,
//  I patched boost myself to make things work. This has been tested
//  and adapted by me for vxWorks 6.9 *only*, as I'm lacking access
//  to earlier 6.X versions! The only thing I know for sure is that
//  very old versions of vxWorks (namely everything below 6.x) are
//  absolutely unable to use boost. This is mainly due to the completely
//  outdated libraries and ancient compiler (GCC 2.96 or worse). Do
//  not even think of getting this to work, a miserable failure will
//  be guaranteed!
//  Equally, this file has been tested for RTPs (Real Time Processes)
//  only, not for DKMs (Downloadable Kernel Modules). These two types
//  of executables differ largely in the available functionality of
//  the C-library, STL, and so on. A DKM uses a library similar to those
//  of vxWorks 5.X - with all its limitations and incompatibilities
//  with respect to ANSI C++ and STL. So probably there might be problems
//  with the usage of boost from DKMs. WRS or any voluteers are free to
//  prove the opposite!

// ====================================================================
//
// Some important information regarding the usage of POSIX semaphores:
// -------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// VxWorks as a real time operating system handles threads somewhat
// different from what "normal" OSes do, regarding their scheduling!
// This could lead to a scenario called "priority inversion" when using
// semaphores, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_inversion.
//
// Now, VxWorks POSIX-semaphores for DKM's default to the usage of
// priority inverting semaphores, which is fine. On the other hand,
// for RTP's it defaults to using non priority inverting semaphores,
// which could easily pose a serious problem for a real time process,
// i.e. deadlocks! To overcome this two possibilities do exist:
//
// a) Patch every piece of boost that uses semaphores to instanciate
//    the proper type of semaphores. This is non-intrusive with respect
//    to the OS and could relatively easy been done by giving all
//    semaphores attributes deviating from the default (for in-depth
//    information see the POSIX functions pthread_mutexattr_init()
//    and pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol()). However this breaks all
//    too easily, as with every new version some boost library could
//    all in a sudden start using semaphores, resurrecting the very
//    same, hard to locate problem over and over again!
//
// b) We could change the default properties for POSIX-semaphores
//    that VxWorks uses for RTP's and this is being suggested here,
//    as it will more or less seamlessly integrate with boost. I got
//    the following information from WRS how to do this, compare
//    Wind River TSR# 1209768:
//
// Instructions for changing the default properties of POSIX-
// semaphores for RTP's in VxWorks 6.9:
// - Edit the file /vxworks-6.9/target/usr/src/posix/pthreadLib.c
//   in the root of your Workbench-installation.
// - Around line 917 there should be the definition of the default
//   mutex attributes:
//
//   LOCAL pthread_mutexattr_t defaultMutexAttr =
//       {
//       PTHREAD_INITIALIZED_OBJ, PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE, 0,
//       PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
//       };
//
//   Here, replace PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE by PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT.
// - Around line 1236 there should be a definition for the function
//   pthread_mutexattr_init(). A couple of lines below you should
//   find a block of code like this:
//
//   pAttr->mutexAttrStatus      = PTHREAD_INITIALIZED_OBJ;
//   pAttr->mutexAttrProtocol    = PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE;
//   pAttr->mutexAttrPrioceiling = 0;
//   pAttr->mutexAttrType        = PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT;
//
//   Here again, replace PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE by PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT.
// - Finally, rebuild your VSB. This will create a new VxWorks kernel
//   with the changed properties. That's it! Now, using boost should
//   no longer cause any problems with task deadlocks!
//
// And here's another useful piece of information concerning VxWorks'
// POSIX-functionality in general:
// VxWorks is not a genuine POSIX-OS in itself, rather it is using a
// kind of compatibility layer (sort of a wrapper) to emulate the
// POSIX-functionality by using its own resources and functions.
// At the time a task (thread) calls it's first POSIX-function during
// runtime it is being transformed by the OS into a POSIX-thread.
// This transformation does include a call to malloc() to allocate the
// memory required for the housekeeping of POSIX-threads. In a high
// priority RTP this malloc() call may be highly undesirable, as its
// timing is more or less unpredictable (depending on what your actual
// heap looks like). You can circumvent this problem by calling the
// function thread_self() at a well defined point in the code of the
// task, e.g. shortly after the task spawns up. Thereby you are able
// to define the time when the task-transformation will take place and
// you could shift it to an uncritical point where a malloc() call is
// tolerable. So, if this could pose a problem for your code, remember
// to call thread_self() from the affected task at an early stage.
//
