Global bit flags¶
SS
is a collection of related C preprocessor symbols defined in sslib.h.
Synopsis:
SS_ALLSAME
: All applicable tasks are supplying identical data or performing the
same operation. For instance, in a call to ss_pers_new this
indicates that the new object can be “born synchronized” because
all tasks will have the same value for the object without needing
to communicate. Absence of this bit simply means that different
tasks might be supplying different data but doesn’t guarantee that
the data is different. (Note: this value must be distinct from TRUE
,
but don’t worry, it’s checked at runtime.)
SS_STRICT
: Flag that causes certain functions to “try harder” to do something
Description: Various bit flags that are useful to different interfaces. These global flags use the high-order bits of a word while the interface-specific flags use the low-order bits.
