I am activating the tasks in VxWorks via taskActivate(TaskID) systemcall and suspending via taskSuspend(TaskID). For Linux, I am using Posix threads and I could not find any equivalent systemcalls which I want to use to start, suspend or resume the threads.
How can I activate, resume or suspend the tasks in Posix?
Thx in advance!
In POSIX, threads are used instead of tasks and there are no methods that can be used to suspend a thread, it wasn't included in the standard since it can cause deadlocks and other issues.
Instead, have a look at using semaphores and/or mutexes with conditional variables to synchronize tasks.
This question and answer was a very helpful resource for me: What is the best solution to pause and resume pthreads?
