Improve scheduler #506
Improve scheduler #506
Conversation
This clarifies the time distribution in the stack, and simplifies testing.
This makes it easier to test in isolation, and cleans up the pnet_t struct
First step in investigating rtlabs-com#455

I think the name should be "scheduler" adding a "_data" suffix does not add any value.
This is just an opinion.

I do not think adding "/***************" style comments improves readability.
Possibly to highlight a group of attributes.

Maybe pf_scheduler_t instead of pf_scheduler_data_t ?

I think a callback to get_current time should be registered at initialization. os_get_current_time_us() could be registered for normal execution and a mock for test.
This solution would mean less changes in the api and it reduces the complexity to the user of the API.

Why this check? In the init function I expected a memset 0 of the scheduler instance and initialization and and creation of various data entries.
