Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : csub and array - help please

  Quote  OK, so the whitespace around the * is I'm pretty sure always irrelevant, for a pointer I usually put it with the type so I would have written:


I'm never sure on this one so I always put it with the variable


int64_t* a,b;
int64_t *a,b;


Yes, if you insist on declaring multiple variables like that then to reduce (you cannot eliminate) confusion you do want to put the * with the identifier and not with the type. Also you should be shot .

Peter's way may be more sensible, but I largely work with higher-level languages where the type is one atomic keyword/identifier, not a mess of them.

Best wishes,

Tom

I'd like to say: yes, C is special!

Very confusing for a beginner like me.
Especially because wrong spelling doesn't necessarily lead to an error, just a different result.
And you can get the same result with different expressions.  

Anyway, I'm working my way through it now. My ambition has been kindled.

I think it doesn't get any easier because the information about CSub is so spread out here in the forum and some of it is several years old. The - excellent! - MMBasic manual is of very little help regarding CSubs.

I have started a page on FotS (Fruit of the Shed) to link to posts around CSubs. Eventually I hope it can be expanded as a complete reference for CSubs and Cfunctions(still maintaining links to the original posts).
I have added a link to this page.
Despite having cut and pasted Geoff and Peter's C code for a couple of years now I am still not fluent in pointer syntax and sometimes have a bit of trial and error. The explanations here are the clearest I have seen.

Very good idea! Thank you! Impressive!
Maybe a reference to it could be in the manual?

Hello dear gurus,

what is the fundamental problem with this error?

Have you been through the original cfunction tutorials?

http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7965&PN=1&TPN=1

http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7973

http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8038

http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8389&KW=by+example

If not you should. Although there is some PIC specific stuff a lot of it is still relevant.

The answer to your question is that you are trying to do maths and this calls SDK routines which you can't link. You need to use the maths calls in the header file

e.g.

x=y*z;

becomes
x=FMul(y,z);

Most people starting to do complicated things in C benefit from understanding the parsing of complex C declarations.   If you read these articles, everything starts to be easy:

http://unixwiz.net/techtips/reading-cdecl.html
https://users.ece.utexas.edu/~ryerraballi/CPrimer/CDeclPrimer.html
http://www.ericgiguere.com/articles/reading-c-declarations.html

Once you can parse and understand the more complicated declarations most of the confusion disappears.
