| Interrupts disabled warning drives man crazy |

Dear all.
Please see the code example below. I cannot get rid of the compiler warning:
interrupts disabled during call to prevent re-entrancy (@DIV88)
Commenting out the line printf(bputc,"start\r\n"); magically makes the compiler warning go away.
I have now spent 3 days reading discussion forums to no prevail, thus a cry for help is due! Arhm so... help... h..h.. help! Help HELP!

There's nothing magic about it. A simple understanding of what the compiler does is enough.
The warning message is telling you that a routine that's called in the ISR is also called from mainline code, and that to prevent re-entrancy (which most PICs cannot support) code to disable interrupts has been placed aroung the calls in mainline code.
So which routine is it? Its perhaps not immediately obvious, but if you think about its the % operator, which is implemented by a call to a built-in routine. It is not an intrinsic operation of the hardware and is not implmented inline. Its that printf calls bputc, which includes % to buffer the characters. No magic. Well there is, sort of. There isn't just one % routine there are many possible ones that the compiler might use, depending on data type. You could probably have a unsigned 8 bit % in an ISR and a 32 bit % in mainline code happily co-existing, but here both uses are of the same unsigned 8 bit version. The warning message tells you the name of the actual routine involved: DIV88, which sounds like divide 8 bits by 8 bits to me....
The example code is example code, not fully finished drivers that can be used in all cases and in all combinations. What you have done, sensibly, is take EX_SISR.C and EX_TISR.C and put them together in one bit of code. That doesn't quite work. In ex_sisr % in the ISR, in ex_tisr its in mainline code. They work fine on their own but are not quite compatible with each other.
Also the code is not optimal: its just an example, not gold standard certified optimal driver code. It uses the modulus operator, that involves a divide - which is not implemented by hardware and so needs to be done as a routine. That allows the buffer to be any length, which is fine for an example. Real buffers are more commonly powers of two lengths, and so simple shifts or bit comparisions can be used instead of the expensive modulus. The simplest is to make your buffers 256 bytes long and use an int8 as the buffer index. Then it wraps round totally automatically without any code overhead at all. Simple comparisons are generally the better solution for generic, non-power of two, buffer lengths.

You are brilliant! Thank you SO much for the reply.
You made understand the cause and how to fix it.
Big kudos!  |

As a solution, worth using the alternative way of solving the calculation:
| Code: |
if (++r_next_in==R_BUFFER_SIZE) r_next_in=0;
|
Instead of performing the modulus operation, you just add one to the pointer, and test if it is now at the end. If it is, load it with zero.
Obviously same for the transmit buffer.
No % involved. 
Best Wishes |

That is indeed a beautiful solution to the problem. Thank you!!! It's now implemented.  |
