POSIX FIFO/pipe

[Wei Shen]

Hi Joel,

Sorry to know you are busy. I want not to bother you, but I still do not
understand how to make "barrier-wait" interruptible by signals.

I do not find any way to set STATES_INTERRUPTIBLE_BY_SIGNAL in RTEMS barrier
API. Do you mean I should re-encapsulate rtems_barrier_wait and set the
thread state before calling it; or I should manually set
STATES_INTERRUPTIBLE_BY_SIGNAL in CORE_barrier_Control.Wait_queue.state at
barrier creation?

Thanks,
Wei
