One particular situation in which it is useful is at the end of a long process during which UpdateRTC() has been called one or more times. Normally, when an RTC interrupt occurs a task switch is performed immediately if the current task’s time slice has expired or if a task is awaiting the expiration of an interval and the interval period has elapsed. However, if interrupts are disabled this automatic task switch cannot be performed. A call to UpdateRTC() will prepare the system for an eventual task switch which is then triggered by a call to Yield(). Example See the example at UpdateRTC. See Also UpdateRTC
