//! # OSAL-RS - Operating System Abstraction Layer for Rust
//!
//! A cross-platform abstraction layer for embedded and real-time operating systems.
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! OSAL-RS provides a unified, safe Rust API for working with different real-time
//! operating systems. Currently supports FreeRTOS with planned support for POSIX
//! and other RTOSes.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **Thread Management**: Create and control threads with priorities
//! - **Synchronization**: Mutexes, semaphores, and event groups
//! - **Communication**: Queues for inter-thread message passing
//! - **Timers**: Software timers for periodic and one-shot operations
//! - **Time Management**: Duration-based timing with tick conversion
//! - **No-std Support**: Works in bare-metal embedded environments
//! - **Type Safety**: Leverages Rust's type system for correctness
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! ### Basic Thread Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use osal_rs::os::*;
//! use core::time::Duration;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // Create a thread
//!     let thread = Thread::new(
//!         "worker",
//!         4096,  // stack size
//!         5,     // priority
//!         || {
//!             loop {
//!                 println!("Working...");
//!                 Duration::from_secs(1).sleep();
//!             }
//!         }
//!     ).unwrap();
//!
//!     thread.start().unwrap();
//!     
//!     // Start the scheduler
//!     System::start();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Mutex Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use osal_rs::os::*;
//! use alloc::sync::Arc;
//!
//! let counter = Arc::new(Mutex::new(0));
//! let counter_clone = counter.clone();
//!
//! let thread = Thread::new("incrementer", 2048, 5, move || {
//!     let mut guard = counter_clone.lock().unwrap();
//!     *guard += 1;
//! }).unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! ### Queue Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use osal_rs::os::*;
//! use core::time::Duration;
//!
//! let queue = Queue::new(10, 4).unwrap();
//!
//! // Send data
//! let data = [1u8, 2, 3, 4];
//! queue.post(&data, 100).unwrap();
//!
//! // Receive data
//! let mut buffer = [0u8; 4];
//! queue.fetch(&mut buffer, 100).unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! ### Semaphore Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use osal_rs::os::*;
//! use core::time::Duration;
//!
//! let sem = Semaphore::new(1, 1).unwrap();
//!
//! if sem.wait(Duration::from_millis(100)).into() {
//!     // Critical section
//!     sem.signal();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Timer Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use osal_rs::os::*;
//! use core::time::Duration;
//!
//! let timer = Timer::new_with_to_tick(
//!     "periodic",
//!     Duration::from_millis(500),
//!     true,  // auto-reload
//!     None,
//!     |_, _| {
//!         println!("Timer tick");
//!         Ok(None)
//!     }
//! ).unwrap();
//!
//! timer.start_with_to_tick(Duration::from_millis(10));
//! ```
//!
//! ## Module Organization
//!
//! - [`os`] - Main module containing all OS abstractions
//!   - Threads, mutexes, semaphores, queues, event groups, timers
//!   - System-level functions
//!   - Type definitions
//! - [`utils`] - Utility types and error definitions
//! - [`log`] - Logging macros
//! - `traits` - Private module defining the trait abstractions
//! - `freertos` - Private FreeRTOS implementation (enabled with `freertos` feature)
//! - `posix` - Private POSIX implementation (enabled with `posix` feature, planned)
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - `freertos` - Enable FreeRTOS support (default)
//! - `posix` - Enable POSIX support (planned)
//! - `std` - Enable standard library support for testing
//! - `disable_panic` - Disable the default panic handler and allocator
//!
//! ## Requirements
//!
//! When using with FreeRTOS:
//! - FreeRTOS kernel must be properly configured
//! - Link the C porting layer from `osal-rs-porting/freertos/`
//! - Set appropriate `FreeRTOSConfig.h` options:
//!   - `configTICK_RATE_HZ` - Defines the tick frequency
//!   - `configUSE_MUTEXES` - Must be 1 for mutex support
//!   - `configUSE_COUNTING_SEMAPHORES` - Must be 1 for semaphore support
//!   - `configUSE_TIMERS` - Must be 1 for timer support
//!   - `configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION` - Must be 1 for dynamic allocation
//!
//! ## Platform Support
//!
//! Currently tested on:
//! - ARM Cortex-M (Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040, RP2350)
//! - ARM Cortex-M4F (STM32F4 series)
//! - ARM Cortex-M7 (STM32H7 series)
//! - RISC-V (RP2350 RISC-V cores)
//!
//! ## Thread Safety
//!
//! All types are designed with thread safety in mind:
//! - Most operations are thread-safe and can be called from multiple threads
//! - Methods with `_from_isr` suffix are ISR-safe (callable from interrupt context)
//! - Regular methods (without `_from_isr`) must not be called from ISR context
//! - Mutexes use priority inheritance to prevent priority inversion
//!
//! ## ISR Context
//!
//! Operations in ISR context have restrictions:
//! - Cannot block or use timeouts (must use zero timeout or `_from_isr` variants)
//! - Must be extremely fast to avoid blocking other interrupts
//! - Use semaphores or queues to defer work to task context
//! - Event groups and notifications are ISR-safe for signaling
//!
//! ## Safety
//!
//! This library uses `unsafe` internally to interface with C APIs but provides
//! safe Rust abstractions. All public APIs are designed to be memory-safe when
//! used correctly:
//! - Type safety through generic parameters
//! - RAII patterns for automatic resource management
//! - Rust's ownership system prevents data races
//! - FFI boundaries are carefully validated
//!
//! ## Performance Considerations
//!
//! - Allocations happen on the FreeRTOS heap, not the system heap
//! - Stack sizes must be carefully tuned for each thread
//! - Priority inversion is mitigated through priority inheritance
//! - Context switches are triggered by blocking operations
//!
//! ## Best Practices
//!
//! 1. **Thread Creation**: Always specify appropriate stack sizes based on usage
//! 2. **Mutexes**: Prefer scoped locking with guards to prevent deadlocks
//! 3. **Queues**: Use type-safe `QueueStreamed` when possible
//! 4. **Semaphores**: Use binary semaphores for signaling, counting for resources
//! 5. **ISR Handlers**: Keep ISR code minimal, defer work to tasks
//! 6. **Error Handling**: Always check `Result` return values
//!
//! ## License
//!
//! LGPL-2.1-or-later - See LICENSE file for details
