[FreeRTOS Home] [Live FreeRTOS Forum] [FAQ] [Archive Top] [March 2011 Threads] vTaskDelay(0) vs taskYIELD() Posted by Sverdlovsk on March 7, 2011 How does vTaskDelay(0) works? Is it equal to taskYIELD()? And if isn't what is the difference?
RE: vTaskDelay(0) vs taskYIELD() Posted by Richard on March 8, 2011 taskYIELD() just performs a yield in whatever way the port being used does not.
vTaskDelay() is a longer function that calculates a wake time, and blocks the task. If vTaskDelay( 0 ) is called, then the wake time will be immediately, so the task will not block, but a yield will still be performed. Therefore calling vTaskDelay( 0 ) will have exactly the same end result as calling taskYIELD(), but is much less efficient in lines of code being executed.
