Example 4-15. MBX Example With Two Types of Tasks
/*
* ======== mbxtest.c ========
* Use a MBX mailbox to send messages from multiple writer()
* tasks to a single reader() task.
* The mailbox, reader task, and 3 writer tasks are created
* statically.
*
* This example is similar to semtest.c. The major differences
* are:
* - MBX is used in place of QUE and SEM.
* - the 'elem' field is removed from MsgObj.
* - reader() task is *not* higher priority than writer task.
* - reader() looks at return value of MBX_pend() for timeout
