Figure 4-9. Using SWI_or to Post an SWI.
If the program execution requires that multiple occurrences of the same event
must take place before an SWI is posted, SWI_dec should be used to post
the SWI as shown in Figure 4-10. By configuring the SWI mailbox to be equal
to the number of occurrences of the event before the SWI should be posted
and calling SWI_dec every time the event occurs, the SWI is posted only after
its mailbox reaches 0; that is, after the event has occurred a number of times
equal to the mailbox value.
