RES: passing parameters to task

[Luca Cinquepalmi]

Thank you Wendell, that's exactly what I mean. I have two question for you.
*
1)* In

*rtems_task mytask(rtems_task_argument arg)*

*{*

*   struct complex_task_parameters* p;*

**

*   p = (complex_task_parameters *)arg;*

**

*   while(true)*

*   {*

*      //use parameters in p*

*      //....*

*   }*

*}*

I have a type error in *p = (complex_task_parameters *)arg;
*Is complex_task_parameters type correct?

*2)* How can I use parameters in while cycle? How can I refer to "foo" 
for example?

      Thanks a lot again!

     Luca
