XRTOS Hangs on uC/OS-II if task is not created with extended information

[CIPop]

The following code will cause the debugger to hang once a breakpoint is used after this task is created:

err = OSTaskCreate(Consume, (void*)0, &Task3Stk[APP_CFG_TASK_START_STK_SIZE-1], APP_TASK_TEST3_PRIO);

Replacing this code with the extended version which populates stack information will work as expected:

  err = OSTaskCreateExt(
    Consume, 
    (void*)0, 
    &Task3Stk[APP_CFG_TASK_START_STK_SIZE-1], 
    APP_TASK_TEST3_PRIO, 
    APP_TASK_TEST3_PRIO, 
    &Task3Stk[0], 
    APP_CFG_TASK_START_STK_SIZE,
    NULL, 
    OS_TASK_OPT_STK_CHK);

Getting the following output with the workaround:

Expected When information isn't provided, the debugger should not attempt to retrieve it.
Actual The debugger hangs for a few seconds, not accepting any further commands.

I tried disabling OpenOCD RTOS in launch.json (// "rtos": "auto",) but it did not have any effect.

Immediate workaround if OSTaskCreateExt can't be used for any reasons: disable XRTOS by unchecking the option in VSCode. (Removing the OpenOCD RTOS parameter won't have any effect.)

Thanks for reporting the issue. Please note that the development of the RTOS View has moved to https://github.com/mcu-debug/rtos-views

Seems i didn't have foreseen the case with OS_TASK_CREATE_EXT_EN being enabled, but not using it.

Will have a look 👨‍💻

Thank you @PhilippHaefele ! That was very fast :).

I will make sure to report any new issues in the correct repo next time.
