@ -21,24 +21,14 @@ the OS emulation layer must provide several header files defining
macros used throughout lwip. The files required and the macros they
must define are listed below the sys_arch description.
Semaphores can be either counting or binary - lwIP works with both
kinds. Mailboxes should be implemented as a queue which allows multiple messages
to be posted (implementing as a rendez-vous point where only one message can be
posted at a time can have a highly negative impact on performance). A message
in a mailbox is just a pointer, nothing more.
Semaphores are represented by the type "sys_sem_t" which is typedef'd
in the sys_arch.h file. Mailboxes are equivalently represented by the
type "sys_mbox_t". Mutexes are represented by the type "sys_mutex_t".
lwIP does not place any restrictions on how these types are represented
internally.
Since lwIP 1.4.0, semaphore, mutexes and mailbox functions are prototyped in a way that
allows both using pointers or actual OS structures to be used. This way, memory
required for such types can be either allocated in place (globally or on the
stack) or on the heap (allocated internally in the "*_new()" functions).

Be careful with using mem_malloc() in sys_arch. When malloc() refers to
mem_malloc() you can run into a circular function call problem. In mem.c
