TYPE
SEMAPHORE (type)
SEMAPHORE ; (* defines Dijkstra's semaphores *)
DESCRIPTOR (type)
DESCRIPTOR ; (* handle onto a process *)
(*
InitProcess - initializes a process which is held in the suspended
state. When the process is resumed it will start executing
procedure, p. The process has a maximum stack size of,
StackSize, bytes and its textual name is, Name.
The StackSize should be at least 5000 bytes.
*)
InitProcess
PROCEDURE InitProcess (p: PROC; StackSize: CARDINAL;
Name: ARRAY OF CHAR) : DESCRIPTOR ;
(*
KillProcess - kills the current process. Notice that if InitProcess
is called again, it might reuse the DESCRIPTOR of the
killed process. It is the responsibility of the caller
to ensure all other processes understand this process
is different.
*)
KillProcess
PROCEDURE KillProcess ;
(*
Resume - resumes a suspended process. If all is successful then the process, p,
is returned. If it fails then NIL is returned.
*)
Resume
PROCEDURE Resume (d: DESCRIPTOR) : DESCRIPTOR ;
(*
Suspend - suspend the calling process.
The process can only continue running if another process
Resumes it.
*)
Suspend
PROCEDURE Suspend ;
(*
InitSemaphore - creates a semaphore whose initial value is, v, and
whose name is, Name.
*)
InitSemaphore
PROCEDURE InitSemaphore (v: CARDINAL; Name: ARRAY OF CHAR) : SEMAPHORE ;
(*
Wait - performs dijkstra's P operation on a semaphore.
A process which calls this procedure will
wait until the value of the semaphore is > 0
and then it will decrement this value.
*)
Wait
PROCEDURE Wait (s: SEMAPHORE) ;
(*
Signal - performs dijkstra's V operation on a semaphore.
A process which calls the procedure will increment
the semaphores value.
*)
Signal
PROCEDURE Signal (s: SEMAPHORE) ;
(*
WaitForIO - waits for an interrupt to occur on vector, VectorNo.
*)
WaitForIO
PROCEDURE WaitForIO (VectorNo: CARDINAL) ;
(*
Ps - displays a process list together with process status.
*)
Ps
PROCEDURE Ps ;
(*
GetCurrentProcess - returns the descriptor of the current running
process.
*)
GetCurrentProcess
PROCEDURE GetCurrentProcess () : DESCRIPTOR ;
(*
RotateRunQueue - rotates the process run queue.
It does not call the scheduler.
*)
RotateRunQueue
PROCEDURE RotateRunQueue ;
(*
ProcessName - displays the name of process, d, through
DebugString.
*)
ProcessName
PROCEDURE ProcessName (d: DESCRIPTOR) ;
(*
DebugProcess - gdb debug handle to enable users to debug deadlocked
semaphore processes.
*)
DebugProcess
PROCEDURE DebugProcess (d: DESCRIPTOR) ;
END Executive.
