Buggy assertion in xTaskGenericCreate?

Posted by alexander5245 on June 27, 2016

Hi,

I've enabled configASSERT and I'm seeing an assertion failure in xTaskGenericCreate (FreeRTOS 8.0.0, PIC32 port). The assertion is:

~~~ configASSERT( ( ( uxPriority & ( UBaseTypet ) ( ~portPRIVILEGEBIT ) ) < ( UBaseTypet ) configMAXPRIORITIES ) ); ~~~

portPRIVILEGEBIT is zero so ~portPRIVILEGEBIT is 0xffffffff. The assertion expects that to be less than the max priority level. Since it's an unsigned comparison (UBaseType_t is an unsigned long) the test will always fail.

So how can this configASSERT test be correct?

Thank you, Bob

Assume:

uxPriority = 5 configMAX_PRIORITIES = 6

Then (all case to unsigned) the assert test becomes:

( uxPriority & 0xffffffff ) < 6

which equals

( 5 & 0xffffffff ) < 6

which equals

5 < 6

so the assertion passes.

Ah, of course! I wasn't reading the parentheses right. Sorry.

Thanks, Bob
