Code problem with function pointers !
PostPosted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 11:49 pm     Reply with quote

Can someone point out why I am getting an error in this simple code fragment?
Code:

#include <Dv4685.h>              // DEVICE INNITIALIZATIONS
#include <stdlib.h>              // CCS LIBRARY STANDARD LIBRARY

int sum(int a, int b);
int subtract(int a, int b);
int mul(int a, int b);
int div(int a, int b);

int (*p[4])(int x, int y);

void main()
{
  int result;
  int i, j, op;

  p[0] = sum; /* address of sum() */
  p[1] = subtract; /* address of subtract() */
  p[2] = mul; /* address of mul() */
  p[3] = div; /* address of div() */

  op = 1;
  result = (*p[op]) (i, j);
}

int sum(int a, int b)
{
  return a + b;
}

int subtract(int a, int b)
{
  return a - b;
}

int mul(int a, int b)
{
  return a * b;
}

int div(int a, int b)
{
  if(b)
      return a / b;
  else
      return 0;
}

All help appreciated!

Always post:

1. Your PIC.
2. The compiler version.
3. The error message.
4. Indicate the line of code in your program that has the error.

Well first of all, I'm not sure that this is the right way to return an array in a function call
you should try:
Code:
int *p(int x, int y);

Second
Quote:
p[0] = sum

this is not the way to call a function.
in the function prototype, you specified that you need parameters
this can cause the error. try
Code:
p[0] = sum(i,j);

ooops!

I meant:

http://www.java2s.com/Code/C/Function/ArraysofPointerstofunctions.htm

But I see that it is declared in main() !!!!

Let me try something!

I'll get back!

See CCS C manual:

The compiler does not permit pointers to functions.

That note is probably not up date. Function pointers do work at least
on 18F, but they require a late version, and sometimes require a work-
around. Example:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33458
I don't guarantee that they can be made to work in an array of
function pointers. It would require testing.

Yes, surprisingly. Unfortunately, no CCS doc mentions it. Readme.txt, said to contain the latest updates to the compiler hasn't a word on it. So there is an interesting question: Does the compiler manual and supplementing dóc mean anything?

I found, that array of function pointers seems to be supported rather straightforward. I didn't check code operation, but it looks meaningful from the assembly listing.

Code:
#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,BROWNOUT,PUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000) 
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

void funct1(int8 par1)
{
printf("Hello Funct1 %i\n\r",par1);
}

void funct2(int8 par1)
{
printf("Hello Funct2 %i\n\r",par1);
}

// Typedef a function pointer.
typedef void (*_fptr)(int8);
   
void main()
{
int8 i;
_fptr fptr[2] = {funct1,funct2};   
for (i=0;i<2;i++)
  (*fptr[i])(10+i);
while(1);     
}

Thanks FvM!

Your sample code regarding arrays of function pointers works!

I am using PCWH version : 4.083

Thanks again!
