| Menu structure |
 Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2022 8:25 am |

Hi,
a while ago (29.6.2019) I posted a code with a menu structure which worked OK and happily compiled under version 5.078. An user sent me a PM few days ago, saying the code doesn't compile under version 5.104 or 5.105. I tested it and he was right, it doesn't. It reports an error "function expected" on the line marked in the code below. Any ideas?
| Code: |
typedef void(*_fptr)(void); // added by PCM Programmer
typedef rom struct MenuStructure{
rom char *text;
unsigned char num_menupoints;
unsigned char up;
unsigned char down;
unsigned char enter;
// void (*fp)(void); // original, not working
_fptr fp; // added by PCM Programmer
}
MenuEntry;
|
The error is reported where marked:
| Code: |
void browse_menu (void){
do{
Exit = 0;
show_menu();
// de-bounce is done in interrupt routine
if(UP_switch_is_down == 1){
UP_switch_is_down = 0;
selected = Menu[selected].up;
}
if(DOWN_switch_is_down == 1){
DOWN_switch_is_down = 0;
selected = Menu[selected].down;
}
if(ENTER_switch_is_down == 1){
ENTER_switch_is_down = 0;
if(Menu[selected].fp != 0){
// Menu[selected].fp(); // original, not working
//*******************************************************
*Menu[selected].fp(); // added by PCM Programmer, V. 5.104 chokes here, saying expecting function
//******************************************************
}
if(!Exit){
selected = Menu[selected].enter;
}
else{
selected = 1; // make sure the entry point to the menu is always 1
}
}
}
while(!Exit); // you need some kind of stop condition to exit menus
} // function

it originally going wrong, would have been with 5.080. There was a change at
this point which caused pointer handling issues. The thread about this in
in the 'issues' forum. Now the latest compilers have fixed this one, question
is whether it has fixed your problem as well.
Can you post a mini compilable program, that would allow us to test?. |

It is all inter-connected, so I really can't or don't know how to) make it much shorter :-). So here is a copy of a project that does compile under 5.078. The point where it fails is the function "void browse_menu (void)" in menu_structure.c

There are a couple of confirmed parsing bugs in v5.105, one of which definitely involves function pointers and the other may or may not. I've got two tickets in with CCS. They sent me a fixed DLL for one of them and the other is an intentional bug (still a bug because it causes valid C to generate a compiler error).
In my case, everything worked until at least v5.093, then we upgraded to 5.105 and got all kind of issues ranging from mispaired #if/#endif (which we verified wasn't the case and they gave us a patched DLL to fix) and incorrect compiler errors concerning infinite recursion (again verified this wasn't the case and CCS said it has to do with their changed implementation of function pointers and they aren't sure yet what way they will move forward).
It might be worthwhile sending them your code with the issue via email and seeing if one of the parsing bugs is causing this for you. I had to followup with a phone call after submitting the email, so if you don't see an email response in like 48 hours, I would give them a call to be sure. |

if I change the code to:
| Code: |
typedef void(*_fptr)(void); // added by PCM Programmer
struct MenuStructure{
rom char *text;
unsigned char num_menupoints;
unsigned char up;
unsigned char down;
unsigned char enter;
// void (*fp)(void); // original, not working
_fptr fp; // added by PCM Programmer
} ;
typedef rom struct MenuStructure MenuEntry;
|
It does compile. Quite a few 'code has no effect' warnings.
Declaring a named structure inside a typedef, does sound likely to cause
issues.... Especially with it being a rom declaration. With this change it
compiles in 5.105, and 107. |

Ttelmah,
with 5.104 it doesn't, the same error, Expecting function name. I mean, I can always do it with 5.078 but I hate for a code I posted not to work.
Regarding those warnings I have no idea if it's only compiler's opinion or if the code really just wastes space doing nothing :-). Will test it in the next few days. |

Jeremiah,
I've had 'intermittent' unbalance #ifdef complaints for quite a few versions.
Will work one day, and then fail on the identical code another day.
Quite annoying.
Does suggest they have changed something in the actual design of the parser,
and perhaps a buffer is overflowing when the code gets to a certain size.
Have you got 5.107?. Does it fix this?. Only been trying it for a few hours
so far, and it has fixed one of my old problems, but not a couple of others.
Haven't had a unbalance #ifdef complaint 'yet'..... |

I haven't gotten 5.107 yet. Our IT policies make it a pain to approve full installations, so we don't do it as often. When I put in the ticket they sent me a fixed DLL for v5.105 (which IT was quickly able to just file copy over) That fixed the #if/#endif "sort of". I still get the errors occasionally, but a recompile removes them.
It didn't fix my "infinite recursion" error in other projects. A later response from support indicated that the compiler was confusing multiple function pointers that had the same basic signature and so it thought there was recursion when there wasn't. They said that was due to a newer way they handle function pointers. They were in discussion on how to handle that though as it was an intentional design decision for the compiler. |

On the warnings about 'code has no effect', it is right.
You have:
| Code: |
for(from; from <= till; from ++){
|
If you want 'from' to be unchanged, the correct syntax is:
| Code: |
for(; from <= till; from ++){
|
It does do absolutely nothing!... |
