How can a task wait for multiple vxworks queues?

Question

We have a vxWorks project that requires one task to process high and low priority messages sent in two message queues.
Messages for a given priority must be processed in FIFO order.

For example, process all high priority messages in the order in which they were received, then process low priority messages. If there is no high priority message, immediately process the low priority message.

Is there any way to do this?

(pipeDevCreate(), write(), read()) , select() , .

, select() , . . select (loop).

:

 // Initialization: Create high and low priority named pipes
 pipeDrv(); //initialize pipe driver
 int fdHi = pipeDevCreate("/pipe/high",numMsgs,msgSize);
 int fdLo = pipeDevCreate("/pipe/low",numMsgs,msgSize);

 ...

 // Message sending thread: Add messages to pipe
 write(fdHi, buf, sizeof(buf));

 ...

 // Message processing Thread: select loop
 fd_set rdFdSet;

 while(1)
 {
     FD_ZERO(&rdFdSet);
     FD_SET(fdHi, &rdFdSet);
     FD_SET(fdLo, &rdFdSet;

     if (select(FD_SETSIZE, &rdFdSet, NULL, NULL, NULL) != ERROR)
     {
         if (FD_ISSET(fdHi, &rdFdSet))
         {
             // process all high-priority messages
             while(read(fdHi,buf,size) > 0)
             {
                 //process high-priority
             }
         }

         if (FD_ISSET(fdLo, &rdFdSet))
         {
             // process a single low priority message
             if (read(fdLo,buf,size) > 0)
             {
                 // process low priority
             }
         }
     }
 }

vxWorks . ( eventLib) . :

MSG_Q_ID lowQ, hiQ;

void Init() {
// Task Initialization Code.  This should be called from the task that will
// be receiving the messages
...
hiQ = msgQCreate(...);
lowQ = msgQCreate(...);
msgQEvStart(hiQ, VX_EV01);  // Event 1 sent when hiQ receives message
msgQEvStart(loQ, VX_EV02);  // Event 2 sent when loQ receives message
...
}
void RxMessages() {
...
  UINT32 ev;   // Event received

   // Blocks until we receive Event 1 or 2
   eventReceive(VX_EV01 | VX_EV02, EVENT_WAIT_ANY, WAIT_FOREVER, &ev);
   if(ev & VX_EV01) {
      msgQReceive(hiQ, ...);
   }
   if(ev & VX_EV02) {
      msgQReceive(loQ, ...);
   }
}
