Consider a simple embedded system:
void interrupt_handler(void) { ... }
int main(void) { ... }
I would like to "emulate" this system with a workstation to make development faster. I would create two threads, one executing the main() function, and the other occasionally calling interrupt_handler(). Before interrupt_handler() is called, the main() thread should be stopped asynchronously.
I looked into pthreads documentation and found only pthread_kill(thread, SIGTSTP) to do asynchronous stop, but then I also have to play terminal tricks to avoid problems..
Is there are function to just disable scheduling of a single thread without having other side-effects (such as terminal stuff)? Functions like pthread_disable_scheduling(thread) and pthread_enable_scheduling(thread) would be good for this..
