Missing call to LeaveRegion

What happens if the code misses a call to OS_LeaveRegion() and then execeutes an OS_Delay()? Do other tasks execute while this one is in the delay state?

Hello,

when you call OS_EnterRegion() without OS_EnterLeaveRegion() the region counter is set and preemptive task switches are disabled.
In general cooperative task switches can still happen.
But in case of OS_Delay() which calls internally OS_DelayUntil() the function waits active for the end of the delay when the region counter is set.

So the answer is: No, other tasks will not be executed.

Til
