Can a task call function implemented in another task ?
Hello, we are using Keil's RTX Real-Time Operating System.
In this OS or in a typical OS, can a task call function defined in another task ?

By "task" do you mean different process?

Yes
Ok, then I guess what you're really talking about is interprocess communication. In other words, one process instructing another to perform some action, right?
The answer will really depend on the Operating System's system API. For example, Unix generally implements RCP using Unix pipes. Windows, on the oher hand, will use other methods (although it, too, has a concept of pipes).
I'm not sure if this helps but if it doesn't maybe you could add some context to your question; mostly, what is it you are trying to achieve?

as far as i could see from
http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/rlarm/rlarm_ar_artxarm.htm
tasks would run an infinite loop and wait for events. so if you want to call a function of task2 from task1 you would trigger an event which was detected by task2 and task2 would process the requested function. there are a lot of samples in the above site which should help you.

>> function of task2
What is functions of task2. Do you mean there is a funtion defined inside task. I don't think that's possible.

From task1, I was calling a function.
From task1, I need to call this function through task 2.

I think you are explaning how to setup simple application using Keil real time operating system.
I think you are explaning how task communicate with each other using events.
My question is "Can a task call function implemented in another task." I realize this question doesn't make sense because functions aren't implemented inside tasks.
