Status: Open
Priority: Low
+ Title: IMPROVED TASK CONTROL BLOCK STRUCTURE
+ All task resources that are shared amongst threads have
+ their own "break-away", reference-counted structure. The
+ Task Control Block (TCB) of each thread holds a reference
+ to each breakaway structure (see include/nuttx/sched.h).
+ It would be more efficent to have one reference counted
+ structure that holds all of the shared resources.
+
+ These are the current shared structures:
+ - Environment varaibles (struct environ_s)
+ - PIC data space and address environments (struct dspace_s)
+ - File descriptors (struct filelist)
+ - FILE streams (struct streamlist)
+ - Sockets (struct socketlist)
+ Status: Open
+ Priority: Low. This is an enhancement. It would slight reduce
+ memory usage but would also increase coupling. These
+ resources are nicely modular now.
