Abstract
A multitasking scheduler is an indispensable tool for providing temporal and functional software distribution. In this chapter, we design a cooperative C++ multitasking scheduler that performs a top-down call of its tasks using time slices and a basic priority mechanism. This multitasking scheduler is compact and portable and can be used for a wide variety of projects ranging from small to large. Toward the end of this chapter, we will discuss additional multitasking features such as extended scheduling with yield and sleep functions and the C++ thread support library.
