76 * Create a single persistent task which periodically dynamically creates another
\r
77 * four tasks. The original task is called the creator task, the four tasks it
\r
78 * creates are called suicidal tasks.
\r
80 * Two of the created suicidal tasks kill one other suicidal task before killing
\r
81 * themselves - leaving just the original task remaining.
\r
83 * The creator task must be spawned after all of the other demo application tasks
\r
84 * as it keeps a check on the number of tasks under the scheduler control. The
\r
85 * number of tasks it expects to see running should never be greater than the
\r
86 * number of tasks that were in existence when the creator task was spawned, plus
\r
87 * one set of four suicidal tasks. If this number is exceeded an error is flagged.
