Amazing work

[nstansbury]

Having accidentally discovered this much improved iteration on Gary's original code by accident, I wanted to say what amazing piece of work this is, and how much I have learned from it.

I was intrigued as I was looking to solve specific requirements for a project I had and this was the "blue touch paper" I needed. I have forked this code and re-imagined it into a C++ OO API that is the basis of the microkernel I needed. I have tried to make sure I included any copyright notices in relevant code, but please feel free to ping me if you feel I have missed any attributions: Postman :: Pico OS Task Manager

Thanks so much for your kind comments! It took a few days before my hat fit properly again... The whole point of shareware is to share some knowledge, and nothing is more satisfying than knowing someone received benefit.

Do take care with C++ in the kernal or interrupt handlers, since it is hard to predict when it may allocate memory if things get too fancy.

In my quick look at copyrights, I'm not sure you got the additional references in the README after the one for Gary. Those are from his original work, and probably should be included. I'm working from memory here, so forgive me if they are actually in your stuff.

Sorry for the long delay. Life gets in the way of fun sometimes...

No worries! All I can say is without your code I'm not sure I'd have had the courage to even contemplate tackling my idea. Reading through the code and your comprehensive documentation helped me grasp what what was happening - well mostly anyway 😉

Thanks for the heads up on C++, I've tried to make as few dynamic allocations happens as possible, I do need to write more tests and run a long duration burn in test to see what happens...

Unless it was completely brand new code, I added the full copyright notice to every file that contained code from yours or Gary's code, I think that attributes the additional references? eg. https://github.com/Tactory/Postman/blob/main/src/Worker.cpp
