After the program runs, review the trace log contents. The results should be
similar to that shown in Figure 4-15.
/*
* ======== reader ========
*/
Void reader(Void)
{
MsgObj msg;
Int i;
for (i=0; ;i++) {
/* wait for mailbox to be posted by writer() */
if (MBX_pend(&mbx, &msg, TIMEOUT) == 0) {
LOG_printf(&trace, "timeout expired for MBX_pend()");
break;
}
/* print value */
LOG_printf(&trace, "read ’%c’ from (%d).", msg.val, msg.id);
}
LOG_printf(&trace, "reader done.");
}
/*

{
