I need to send information from an interrupt service routine to a process. Is it OK and/or good practice to write into a named pipe from an interrupt service routine ? Is using signals a better way ? lmt. There are 2 Replies. #: 19939 S5/OS9 Users Group 04-May-94 16:51:17 Sb: #19938-pipes vs. signals Fm: Bill Dickhaus 70325,523 To: Lou Tiberia 70431,3410 (X) Lou, Most of my experience with interrupt service routines is with 6809 OS9, but I would think the same rules apply: limit any system calls within any interrupt service routine, particularly those that involve other device drivers, even if it is just a memory device like pipes. I would go with the signals. Maybe someone else with more OSK experience will also answer. -Bill- #: 19941 S5/OS9 Users Group 05-May-94 21:12:56 Sb: #19938-pipes vs. signals Fm: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203 To: Lou Tiberia 70431,3410 Doing I/O in an interrupt routine is _not_ recommended. However, I've done a couple of games using this and haven't had them crash (yet). But signals are a much better way to go than named pipes. Don't forget another method--shared data modules. #: 19943 S10/OS9/6809 (CoCo) 07-May-94 10:34:26 Sb: for sale Fm: dave yale 74267,1426 To: all Items for sale: Prices DO NOT include shipping.

The result is that we can't really catch anything, and for example 102 is shown in procs listing as 166 (bull ??). In an OS9 task the same handler works perfectly ok. What's the big difference, or are we really getting some stack problems as 166 suggests ??? Thanks in advance Hannu Press !>
