Hi all,
I had a brief question regarding scheduling priority of threads. Reading the component builder's manual I see some examples with thread priority of 0 some with 5 and one with 99. What is the highest and lowest priority of threads, is it 99 and 0 respectively? Is there somewhere I could do more reading about priorities and such?
Thanks

Depends on the operating system. Linux is 0-99, higher is more important. OS X is 0-63 (IIRC), higher is more important. No idea on Windoze.

Note the you have to choose the RT_SCHED type of scheduling, RT_OTHER will
only use priorities of 0.
