@ -38,12 +38,22 @@ manually setting the SysTick timer value to 0 after unlocking: so that a
successful thread-switch is attempted (in case one was missed when the thread successful thread-switch is attempted (in case one was missed when the thread
was locked). was locked).
**SPECIAL NOTE:** The main thread _cannot_ be exited! If you think about it,
it would be unreasonable that the main thread should be exited, since there
would be nowhere for the thread-switcing routine to return to. As such, the
main thread will simply branch to an infinite loop when it calls *threadexit*.
In the future, I hope to implement a flag that declares the main thread as
exited, in which case it is skipped until all other threads have exited. If all
threads have exited, the threading system should reasonably be disabled and the
processor should probably be put into deepsleep indefinitely.
