Re: [ECOS] how to set overtime to serial port block read/write?

[wb ning <helloningwb at gmail dot com>]

I use cyg_io_get_config(io_handle, CYG_IO_GET_CONFIG_SERIAL_ABORT, 0,
&len) as you said. The return code of this function is 0, but seems my
cyg_io_read() seems still block there. I cannot find where the mistake
is, i used the test file at $ECOS_REPOSITORY/io/serial/v3_0/tests/.
And my code is like this:

//ser0 is initialize here. i omit these codes. i tested it alone, and it's ok.
// these following code are the same as the test example from ecos,
except that i add some hint message to help me debug.
static void
do_abort(void *handle)
{
    printf("%s","now it is timeout.");  // my code can run to here and
print the hint message.
    cyg_io_handle_t io_handle = (cyg_io_handle_t)handle;
    cyg_uint32 len = 1;  // Need something here ( i don't know here i
need what, it's the ecos comment,  do i need something here?)
    Cyg_ErrNo no = cyg_io_get_config(io_handle,
CYG_IO_GET_CONFIG_SERIAL_ABORT, 0, &len);
    printf("Arrive here,no=%d",no); // my code can run to here also,
and the "no" equals 0.
    aborted = 1;
}

#include "timeout.inl"
// Read with timeout (__t = timeout in ticks, int* __r = result)
#define Tcyg_io_read_timeout(__h, __d, __l, __t, __r)           \
    CYG_MACRO_START                                             \
    int __res;                                                  \
    printf("%s"," Begin to do time."); \     //my code can run to here
    r_stamp = timeout((__t), do_abort, (__h));                  \
    printf("%s","Time is not up now, this message will be print before
messages in do_abort function "); \
    __res = cyg_io_read((__h), (__d), (__l));                   \
    printf("If i arrive here, this means the cyg_io_read() sentence
before is cancelled successfully,and the return code is :%d",__res); \
 //but my code can go to here, and the hint message will never show.
    if (ENOERR != __res && -EINTR != __res) {                   \
                 printf("%s: %d","cyg_io_read/timeout failed", __res);        \
    }                                                           \
    *(__r) = __res;                                             \
    untimeout(r_stamp);                                         \
    CYG_MACRO_END

the ecos documentation says that if cyg_io_get_config(io_handle,
CYG_IO_GET_CONFIG_SERIAL_ABORT, 0, &len) , the pending read will be
cancelled. but why cannot i get this result? Do i need to modify the
configuration of ecos or is there something wrong in my code? Please
help me.
Thanks in advance.
