Some Exception Handling Methods
A: Relieve the task from waiting by…
• Designing functions with return values to indicate good/bad status
• Adding timeouts on retrieving the data to those functions to drive
good/bad status return.
Note:
• This brings up the need for call by reference in C
• This concept can be expanded to operating system calls (posting
mailboxes, releasing semaphores), library function calls, etc. provided
the RTOS supports it.
