combining XC and C++

[TjBordelon]

This one is happening to me! I'm going to start a new thread, but in my case I'm calling into assembly from C. It only happens when you have >1 thread. Not sure what to do about it. The #pragma fix doesn't seem to work.

Hi TjBordelon,
in asm you have to define functionname.nstackwords and maxthreads
linker directive. Better to see in document. Page 5, paragraph 5.3 Resource usage

Hi ,
Iam just wondering, if is it any runtime check for the calling stack size?
I mean, ok we could specify / override the size with the #pragma stackwords n.
But this number may less than the real requirements.

I have followed yzoer's example and made a global.h

I have a cpp file with code, and a .h file something(?) like this. I am only making some empty code, to try to get som grasp of it, so most is removed from the RadioHead code:

Code: Select all

class RHGenericSPI;
class RHSPIDriver : public RHGenericDriver
{
public:
    RHSPIDriver(uint8_t slaveSelectPin, RHGenericSPI& spi);
    bool init();
    void spiUsingInterrupt(uint8_t interruptNumber);
};
class RH_RF69 : public RHSPIDriver
{
public:
    RH_RF69(uint8_t slaveSelectPin, uint8_t interruptPin, RHGenericSPI& spi);
    // ...
};

This .h file is not included in my .xc file (it contains C++ syntax, so I guess it shouldn't). Now I am referring this in the .xc file tile this:

Code: Select all

EXTERNAL void RHGenericSPI();
EXTERNAL void RH_RF69 (uint8_t slaveSelectPin, uint8_t interruptPin, RHGenericSPI& spi); // Maybe REFERENCE_PARAM(type,value) in last param here?

But I constantly get errors, no matter how much I tweak it:

Code: Select all

../src/__arduino_on_xmos_test.xc:34:70: error: parse error before "RHGenericSPI"
EXTERNAL void RH_RF69 (uint8_t slaveSelectPin, uint8_t interruptPin, RHGenericSPI& spi); // Maybe REFERENCE_PARAM(type,value) in last param here?
                                                                     ^

Have I supplied enough code (and is the .h file correct)?

I guess the question is as simple as how do I specify a pointer to a class from xc? And later, to an instantiated object? Or are there other ways? I haven't found this documented(!?)

PS. I am trying to port some code for a radio board, see Porting to XMOS / XC - disclaimer: no money, no gifts, no ads, just fun and expenses
