Event behaviour

[Angelo Fraietta]

I have a task that waits for an event, however, it is possible that the 
event has been set by an interrupt before the task begins to actually 
wait. The following snippet shows a task about to go into a wait with 
the event being set just before it waits.
e.g.

while (1)
{
    rtems_event_set dummy;

    // >> event is set at this time by another thread of execution

    rtems_task_ident( RTEMS_SELF, RTEMS_SEARCH_ALL_NODES, &_task_id );

    rtems_event_receive (RTEMS_EVENT_EVENT_FLAG, RTEMS_WAIT,
                                             RTEMS_NO_TIMEOUT, &dummy);
}

The question is, should the event return in this case, or did the event 
have to be set after the receive call?
