[Tinyos-devel] Re: [Tinyos Core WG] Proposal for VariableSizedQueueC component

[Kevin Klues]

I was revising the implementation of printf, and wanted to use a queue
to store the characters coming in via calls to printf.  Bytes get
periodically flushed out of the queue, but only on synchrounous
boundaries.  Depending on the number of characters you want to print
in asynchronous context before printf has a chance to flush them, you
may want to increase the size of the buffer beyond 256 bytes.
