operating system - Difference between message queues and mailboxes -
in operating system difference between message queues , mailboxes.
i suspect there no universally accepted definition makes message queue versus mailbox. each rtos may use different terminology , implementation details you'd have @ each rtos individually.
generally speaking of common differences include:
- is size of messages sent through queue/mailbox fixed or can message size vary?
- does queue/mailbox hold reference message or copy of message?
- can queue/mailbox hold 1 message, multiple messages, or unlimited messages?
