The email about RT-Preempt got me reading through rtapi.h for the first time in years. The API contains functions for manipulating semaphores and fifos, but I believe HAL and EMC have never used them. As a result, they have probably bitrotted. In addition, implementing them is extra work for someone who is trying to write a new OS wrapper, work that will never actually be used. I propose that we verify that they are not used, and if not, we deprecate them, and remove them from rtapi.h and all of the wrappers. The code will always be there in git if we need it some day.
