 Title:

   NPP (Non Preemptive Protocol)
35
 
36
 Resource Models Accepted:

   None

 Description:
40
   This module implement the Non Preemptive Protocol.
41
   When a task aquire a critical section, it become non-preemptable.
42
 
43
   A NPP mutex is created passing the NPP_mutexattr structure to mutex_init.
44
 
45
 Exceptions raised:
46
   XMUTEX_OWNER_KILLED
47
     This exception is raised when a task ends and it owns one or more
48
     mutexes
49
 
50
 Restrictions & special features:
51
   - This module is NOT Posix compliant
52
   - This module can manage any number of NPP mutexes.
53
   - if a task uses a NPP mutex, it can use only this type of mutex.
54
   - If a task ends (because it reaches the end of the body or because it
55
     is killed by someone) and it owns some mutex, an exception is raised.
56
   - if a mutex unlock is called on a mutex not previously
57
     locked or previously locked by another task an error is returned
58
   - A NPP mutex can be statically allocated. To do this, the init function
59
     have to define a macro that puts this information in the mutex
60
     descriptor: mutexlevel = <NPP resource level>; opt = NULL;
61
     for example, if the NPP module is registered at level 1, the macro is
62
     like:
63
     #define MUTEX_INITIALIZER {1,(void *)NULL}
