 /*
  * This is a version of BlockQ.c that uses the alternative (Alt) API.
  *
  * Creates six tasks that operate on three queues as follows:
  *
  * The first two tasks send and receive an incrementing number to/from a queue.
  * One task acts as a producer and the other as the consumer.  The consumer is a
  * higher priority than the producer and is set to block on queue reads.  The queue
  * only has space for one item - as soon as the producer posts a message on the
  * queue the consumer will unblock, pre-empt the producer, and remove the item.
  *
  * The second two tasks work the other way around.  Again the queue used only has
  * enough space for one item.  This time the consumer has a lower priority than the
  * producer.  The producer will try to post on the queue blocking when the queue is
  * full.  When the consumer wakes it will remove the item from the queue, causing
  * the producer to unblock, pre-empt the consumer, and immediately re-fill the
  * queue.
  *
  * The last two tasks use the same queue producer and consumer functions.  This time the queue has
  * enough space for lots of items and the tasks operate at the same priority.  The
  * producer will execute, placing items into the queue.  The consumer will start
  * executing when either the queue becomes full (causing the producer to block) or
  * a context switch occurs (tasks of the same priority will time slice).
