This change is meant to solve the following problem: how to translate the
following snippet to DSPHLE:
SendInterruptAndWaitRead(MAIL_A);
SendAndWaitRead(MAIL_B);
SendInterruptAndWaitRead(MAIL_C);
This should cause the following actions on the CPU side:
---> Woken up by interrupt
Reads MAIL_A
Reads MAIL_B
<--- Exits interrupt handler
---> Woken up by interrupt
Reads MAIL_C
<---
But with the current DSPHLE mail support, the following would happen because
the "AndWaitRead" part is not supported:
---> Woken up by interrupt
Reads MAIL_A
Reads MAIL_B
<--- Exits interrupt handler
[Never gets the second interrupt since it was triggered at the same time as
the first one! Misses MAIL_C.]
This changes fixes the issue by storing two values in the mail queue on the DSP
side: the value of the mail itself, and whether a read of that mail should
trigger a DSP interrupt. If nothing is in the queue yet and an interrupt is
requested, just trigger the interrupt. In the present example, the queue will
look like this:
Mail value Interrupt requested
MAIL_A No <-- Interrupt was triggered when
pushing the mail to the queue.
MAIL_B Yes
MAIL_C No
When the CPU will read MAIL_B, this will cause MailHandler to trigger the
interrupt, which will be handled by the CPU when coming back from the exception
handler. MAIL_C is then successfully read.
