20  This directive creates a message queue which resides on the local node.  The
21  message queue has the user-defined object name specified in
22  ${.:/params[0]/name}.  Memory is allocated from the RTEMS Workspace for the
23  count of messages specified in ${.:/params[1]/name}, each of
24  ${.:/params[2]/name} bytes in length.  The assigned object identifier is
25  returned in ${.:/params[4]/name}.  This identifier is used to access the
26  message queue with other message queue related directives.
27
28  The **attribute set** specified in ${.:/params[3]/name} is built through a
29  *bitwise or* of the attribute constants described below.  Not all
30  combinations of attributes are allowed.  Some attributes are mutually
31  exclusive.  If mutually exclusive attributes are combined, the behaviour is
32  undefined.  Attributes not mentioned below are not evaluated by this
33  directive and have no effect.  Default attributes can be selected by using
34  the ${../../attr/if/default:/name} constant.  The attribute set defines
35
36  * the scope of the message queue: ${../../attr/if/local:/name} (default) or
37    ${../../attr/if/global:/name} and
38
39  * the task wait queue discipline used by the message queue:
40    ${../../attr/if/fifo:/name} (default) or ${../../attr/if/priority:/name}.
41
42  The message queue has a local or global **scope** in a multiprocessing network
43  (this attribute does not refer to SMP systems).  The scope is selected by the
44  mutually exclusive ${../../attr/if/local:/name} and
45  ${../../attr/if/global:/name} attributes.
46
47  * A **local scope** is the default and can be emphasized through the use of
48    the ${../../attr/if/local:/name} attribute.  A local message queue can be
49    only used by the node which created it.
50
51  * A **global scope** is established if the ${../../attr/if/global:/name}
52    attribute is set.  Setting the global attribute in a single node system has
53    no effect.
54
55  The **task wait queue discipline** is selected by the mutually exclusive
56  ${../../attr/if/fifo:/name} and ${../../attr/if/priority:/name} attributes.
57  The discipline defines the order in which tasks wait for a message to receive
58  on a currently empty message queue.
59
60  * The **FIFO discipline** is the default and can be emphasized
61    through use of the ${../../attr/if/fifo:/name} attribute.
62
63  * The **priority discipline** is selected by the
64    ${../../attr/if/priority:/name} attribute.

[45b6997]87notes: |
88  For message queues with a global scope, the maximum message size is
89  effectively limited to the longest message which the ${/glossary/mpci:/term}
90  is capable of transmitting.
91
92  For control and maintenance of the message queue, RTEMS allocates a
93  ${/glossary/qcb:/term} from the local QCB free pool and initializes it.
94
95  The QCB for a global message queue is allocated on the local node.  Message
96  queues should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with the
97  message queue.  This is to avoid the system overhead incurred by the creation
98  of a global message queue.  When a global message queue is created, the
99  message queue's name and identifier must be transmitted to every node in the
100  system for insertion in the local copy of the global object table.
