Re: [Xenomai-help] enable/disable all interrupts from user space

[Jeff Weber <jweber@domain.hid>]

Thanks Jan.

Another thought: is there a direct Adeos  call to enable/disable all 
interrupts, with nesting from user space?

I'm porting some legacy RTAI code to the Xenomai native skin.  The RTAI code 
has rtai_save_flags_and_cli()/rtai_restore_flags() for enabling/disabling all 
interrupts  direct from user space, with capability to handle nested calls.  

Yes, please add this to the native skin "wish list", along with a nesting 
capability.

        thanks,
        Jeff
