Task names

Posted by keith soldavin on May 10, 2010
Is there a way to retrieve the name of a task after the task has been created and is running? I have a debug routine that prints out some information about the tasks I am running but I have to manually enter the name of each task. I would like to be able to retrieve the name of the task given the task handle.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks
Keith

If you are inside the tasks.c source file then you can access TCB->pcTaskName directly. You could add your own function

char *GetTaskName( xTaskHandle task )
{
return ((tskTCB*)task)->pcTaskName;
}


Look at how prvListTaskWithinSingleList() is implemented.
