Hi,
I just sat together with a user who has implemented an application
using the FileReporting component.
To get things running, he copied over the code from
ocl-trunk/reporting/tests/main.cpp
PeriodicActivity act(10, 1.0);
ConsoleReporting rc("Reporting");
act.run( rc.engine() );
It seems to me reportingcomponents should use the ORO_SCHED_OTHER scheduler
when available?
regards,
Klaas
ps. I also skimmed the component builders manual (very fast), and I
could not find information about the fact that priorities, when used
like this, map to native RTOS priorities?

Yes. By default a thread is started in ORO_SCHED_RT, which is not such a good
idea for a logging/reporting thread.

This seems to be lacking from the documentation, but on the otherhand, no word
is said about a 'mapping' or 'interpreting' priorities, which would imply
that they are used as-is.

Untested (orocos on os x is not yet supported :-)
