It really just implements an 'echo': A synch message is * sent from the window client to the server which then responds * immediately by sending the NXEVENT_SYNCHED back to the windows client. * * Due to the highly asynchronous nature of client-server communications, * nx_synch() is sometimes necessary to assure that the client and server * are fully synchronized in time. * * Usage by the window client might be something like this: * * extern bool g_synched; * extern sem_t g_synch_sem; * * g_synched = false; * ret = nx_synch(hwnd, handle); * if (ret < 0) * { * -- Handle the error -- * } * * while (!g_synched) * { * ret = sem_wait(&g_sync_sem); * if (ret < 0) * { * -- Handle the error -- * } * } * * When the window listener thread receives the NXEVENT_SYNCHED event, it * would set g_synched to true and post g_synch_sem, waking up the above * loop. * * Input Parameters: * wnd - The window to be synched * arg - An argument that will accompany the block messages (This is arg2 * in the event callback). * * Returned Value: * OK on success; ERROR on failure with errno set appropriately * ****************************************************************************/ int nx_synch(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR void *arg) { struct nxsvrmsg_synch_s outmsg; #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES if (hwnd == NULL) { set_errno(EINVAL); return ERROR; } #endif /* Send the syncrhonization request message. */ outmsg.msgid = NX_SVRMSG_SYNCH; outmsg.wnd = (FAR struct nxbe_window_s *)hwnd; outmsg.arg = arg; return nxmu_sendwindow(hwnd, &outmsg, sizeof(struct nxsvrmsg_synch_s)); }
