Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

:confused: Here's a stumper:

Code:

char Autonomous_1 (char State) // <---Right Here!

{

//...

}

The error is a syntax error. It is the only error in the listing, and it is at that line. I have removed 1 or 2 routines, and still get it.

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

That looks OK on cursory examination. What comes right before that line? Is it possible you have unmatched braces?

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

a lot of times, it will give you a syntax error and the real error will be 10 lines up from the little green arrow.

Code:

#include "printf_lib.h"





/*******************************************************************************

The only thing above it is comments and #includes

Have you modified printf_lib.h?

Some. Mostly just a #endif at the end.

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

I added

Code:

/**************************************************  *****************************

* FUNCTION NAME: PrintRamString

* PURPOSE:       Run 1 loop for autonomous mode 1

* CALLED FROM:   anywhere

* ARGUMENTS:     

*     Input: char State - What is the state of atuonomous

* RETURNS:       char - is it finished?

**************************************************  *****************************/



char Autonomous_1 (char State) // <---Right Here!

{

//...

}

right after a #include of our stock printf_lib.h. No error. How about if you post your printf_lib.h?

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

Code:

/*******************************************************************************

* FILE NAME: printf_lib.h

*

* DESCRIPTION: 

*  This is the include file which corresponds to printf_lib.c

*

* USAGE:

*  If you add your own routines to that file, this is a good place

*  to add function prototypes.

*******************************************************************************/

#ifndef __printf_lib_h_

#define __printf_lib_h_



int printf(rom const char *format, ...);



void printid(int data,int crtOn);

void printb(unsigned char data,int crtOn);

void printd(unsigned char data,int crtOn);

void printix(int data,int crtOn);

void printx(unsigned char data,int crtOn);

void debug_print(char *bufr,int data);

void debug_printb(char *bufr,unsigned int data);

void debug_println(char *bufr);



#endif



/******************************************************************************/

/******************************************************************************/

Commenting out the last few declares don't help.

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

Well, you might be right. I'm still stumped. You didn't do something weird like #defining char, Autonomous_1 or State, did you? (Or parentheses or underscores, taking a lesson from those obfuscated C samples posted elsewhere?)

I'm stumped too... :)

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

Since you have an #ifdef/#endif protecting your printf_lib.h from being included multiple times, I suspect the problem is being caused by the line(s) before that #include. Post a bit more context, and look at the other included files for unmatched parentheses or braces or even missing semicolons.

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's waldo?)

After 3 of us working on 4 computers last night to get it to compile, we got it to compile. There were various similar problems throughout the new stuff. I have to ask: Is there a limit on the number af function prototypes in a file?

Possible. How many did you have?

Re: Routine declaration syntax error (Or: Where's wlado?)

Is there some reason why you can't use the stock printf lib if it works? If you can't, try remodifying it one change at a time to see what it is.
