What am I missing? The names of the threads, queues, etc. are prototyped as char*.

But this causes an issue because one shouldn't (it violates sane rules) cast a "const char*" to a "char*". This would be necessary of you use a literal string in the call to the function. I locally changed all the prototypes for the thread create and the issue goes away.

 

But I am wondering why it isn't like that to begin with.

    What version of threadX are you using?  Mine is 6.1:

    UINT    _txe_thread_create(TX_THREAD *thread_ptr, CHAR *name_ptr,
                VOID (*entry_function)(ULONG id), ULONG entry_input,
                VOID *stack_start, ULONG stack_size,
                UINT priority, UINT preempt_threshold,
                ULONG time_slice, UINT auto_start, UINT thread_control_block_size)
     
    The github repo is 6.2 and it shows the same as mine.
