Typedef Documentation

task_t

typedef void(* task_t) (void)

Defines a function pointer type for tasks.

This type represents a function pointer to a task in the Task_layer intended for scheduling. Each task is a self-contained decision-maker that utilizes services provided by the Middleware_layer to interact with hardware resources and takes no inputs.

The function pointer is deliberately defined without input parameters to enhance simplicity and promote functional safety. This design avoids the use of void pointers, which necessitate type casting and could undermine type safety. Instead, task-specific configurations are implemented using predefined macros, thereby ensuring both type safety and reliability in task operations.
