I am still having a hard time understanding this. What do you mean by
no code which blocks? Does the thread which executes our task (Say a
function Loop with 30k loops) block? What does block mean here?
Block means here that the thread calls _Scheduler_Block(). If it
executes an infinite loop, then it does NOT block. Actually, the default
implementation of an idle thread body is:
void *_CPU_Thread_Idle_body( uintptr_t ignored )
{
while ( true ) {
/* Do nothing */
}
return NULL;
}
On most targets, it is an infinite loop which executes a some code which
puts the processor in a low-power mode.
