Creates a new message buffer that uses dynamically allocated memory.
Message buffers execute a callback upon completion of each send and receive operation. Message buffers created using the
xMessageBufferCreate() API share the same send and receive completed callback functions, which are defined using the
sbSEND_COMPLETED() and sbRECEIVE_COMPLETED() macros. Message buffers created using the xMessageBufferCreateWithCallback() API
can each have their own unique send and receive completed callback functions. See
xMessageBufferCreateStatic() and xMessageBufferCreateStaticWithCallback()
for corresponding versions that use statically allocated memory (memory that is allocated at compile time).
configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION must be set to 1 or left undefined in
FreeRTOSConfig.h for xMessageBufferCreate() to be available. Additionally, configUSE_SB_COMPLETED_CALLBACK must be set to 1 in
FreeRTOSConfig.h for xMessageBufferCreateWithCallback() to be available.
Message buffer functionality is enabled by including the FreeRTOS/source/stream_buffer.c source file in the build (as message
buffers use stream buffers).
Parameters:
xBufferSizeBytes
The total number of bytes (not messages) the message buffer will be able to hold at any one time. When a message is written
to the message buffer an additional sizeof( size_t ) bytes are also written to store the message's length. sizeof( size_t )
is typically 4 bytes on a 32-bit architecture, so on most 32-bit architectures a 10 byte message will take up 14 bytes of
message buffer space.
pxSendCompletedCallback
The callback function invoked when a message is written to the message buffer. If the parameter is NULL, the default
implementation provided by the sbSEND_COMPLETED macro is used. The send completed callback function must have the prototype
defined by StreamBufferCallbackFunction_t, which is:
The callback function invoked when a message is read from a message buffer. If the parameter is NULL, the default
implementation provided by the sbRECEIVE_COMPLETED macro is used. The receive completed callback function must have the
prototype defined by StreamBufferCallbackFunction_t, which is:
If NULL is returned, then the message buffer cannot be created because there is insufficient heap memory available for FreeRTOS
to allocate the message buffer data structures and storage area. A non-NULL value being returned indicates that the message
buffer has been created successfully - the returned value should be stored as the handle to the created message buffer.
Example usage:
void vSendCallbackFunction( MessageBufferHandle_t xMessageBuffer,
BaseType_t xIsInsideISR,
BaseType_t * const pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken )
{ /* Insert code here which is invoked when a message is written to
* the message buffer.
* This is useful when a message buffer is used to pass messages between
* cores on a multicore processor. In that scenario, this callback
* can be implemented to generate an interrupt in the other CPU core,
* and the interrupt's service routine can then use the
* xMessageBufferSendCompletedFromISR() API function to check, and if
* necessary unblock, a task that was waiting for message. */
}
void vReceiveCallbackFunction( MessageBufferHandle_t xMessageBuffer,
BaseType_t xIsInsideISR,
BaseType_t * const pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken )
{ /* Insert code here which is invoked when a message is read from a message
* buffer.
* This is useful when a message buffer is used to pass messages between
* cores on a multicore processor. In that scenario, this callback
* can be implemented to generate an interrupt in the other CPU core,
* and the interrupt's service routine can then use the
* xMessageBufferReceiveCompletedFromISR() API function to check, and if
* necessary unblock, a task that was waiting to send message. */
}
if( xMessageBuffer == NULL )
{ /* There was not enough heap memory space available to create the
* message buffer. */
}
else
{ /* The message buffer was created successfully and can now be used. */
}
/* Create a message buffer that can hold 100 bytes and uses the
* functions vSendCallbackFunction and vReceiveCallbackFunction
* as send and receive completed callback functions. The memory
* used to hold both the message buffer structure and the data
* in the message buffer is allocated dynamically. */
xMessageBufferWithCallback = xMessageBufferCreateWithCallback(
xMessageBufferSizeBytes,
vSendCallbackFunction,
vReceiveCallbackFunction );
if( xMessageBufferWithCallback == NULL )
{ /* There was not enough heap memory space available to create the

}
