- At the time this report is printed, two bugs are puzzling me but
- time does not allow me to take a closer look at them :
-
- <----------------
- 1) The motion queue management suffers a flaw that should be fixed
- in the coming weeks. At the time a motion is entered into the queue, the
- 'queue' function is called. It returns a pointer to an allocated area
- where the new data is stored. Before the data is installed, the setpoint
- process may well look into the queue an obtain an incomplete record.
- <---------------
- Fixed

-
- 2) The high speed fifo interface caused some synchronizations
- problems that were believed to be solved. It turns out however that when
- the function 1 called by the real time interface take too long to execute,
- a system crash may occur. I got around that by not using function 1 in
- RCCL although it's a pity and by warning the other users.
-
- There are also many things that would need to be reworked.
