Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand monitoring multiple tasks
Each task has its own stack; checking all ensures no task is overlooked.Step 2: Implement threshold check per task
Looping through tasks and comparing free stack to 50 words allows targeted warnings.Step 3: Evaluate other options
Checking only current or highest priority task misses others; increasing heap doesn't solve stack issues.Final Answer:
Loop through all task handles, call uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark(), compare to 50, log if below -> Option DQuick Check:
Check all tasks individually for stack [OK]
Quick Trick: Check each task's stack individually for accurate monitoring [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming one check covers all tasks
- Ignoring lower priority tasks
- Confusing heap size with stack size
