Hi, Today, I had several hangs of cunit tests. It turned out to be infinite cycling in while loop of atomic16_inc/atomic16_dec (see vm/thread/src/thread_native_suspend.c)
Here is a snip of assembler code produced by msvc for atomic16_dec: call port_atomic_cas16 (10004A90h) add esp,0Ch movzx edx,ax <-----------------------------zero extention movsx eax,word ptr [old_value] <----sign extention cmp edx,eax je atomic16_inc+45h (10004A15h) The problem can be easily fixed by changing int16 to unit16 in atomic16_dec. Do you think this is accaptable way to fix the problem. BTW, could somebody explain why 16-bit atomic operation is used for 32-bit value?
