[lwip-devel] [bug #1902] Timeouts and semaphores/mailboxes are too tightly integrated

[Atte Kojo]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #1902 (project lwip):

I fully agree. Easy porting should definately be one of lwIP's goals. It is
kind of nice that just porting semaphores and mailboxes gives timer
functionality for free (and you also get this ginsu knife for absolutely no
cost at all ;-). Plus the timestamp stuff has less processing overhead than
hooking to the tick timer.

BTW, if the OS tick timer isn't accurate, then the timestamps, or mailbox
timeouts for that matter, won't probably be either :)
