Real time (Bug 16018)

Mika Leppinen 2016-09-14 06:25:45 PDT

For the API to support real time it must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines". API design need to enable the implementation of the real time system.

Setting QA contact to non-member SCAP mailing list.

Assigned to Mika to define lower level requirements. Set as guideline per call 2016-09-26

Comment 3 Mika Leppinen 2016-10-10 06:24:32 PDT

The API implementation must have deterministic execution timing, and potentially non-deterministic techniques, such as dynamic memory allocation and locking, should be avoided where feasible. The API implementer must define the expected real-time characteristics, and particularly, whether hard or soft real-time is targeted. For all potentially blocking functions, a timeout option must be provided.

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Review the existing guideline structure and the discussion requirements for deterministic timing, real-time targets, avoidance of blocking techniques, and timeout options; done means those requirements are incorporated into the appropriate guidance.
