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

[Simon Goldschmidt]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #1902 (project lwip):

OK, what I'm saying is:
- the timeouts/mailbox integration _is_ a feature that is needed by tcpip.c
and therefore (at least in my opinion) _not_ a bug.
- the timeouts/semaphore integration is not needed / lead to bugs in the past
since normally a thread is not in a state to let timeouts run if waiting for a
semaphore (since most of the time semaphores are used as mutexes in lwip code)
therefore the timeout/semaphore integration could be thrown away reducing
sys_sem_wait to a direct call to sys_arch_sem_wait

I think you originally said you wanted to wait for my timestamp changes to
close this bug. All I'm saying now is I think there's no need to wait. If we
throw away semaphore/timeout integration we can do it now. If not, we can
close this bug as won't fix. Timeout/mailbox integration is needed anyway.
