Returning A Long

[ryeg 0]

I am having a problem that is probably a stupid error or a misunderstanding of BoostC.

 

I can not get the simple example function shown below to work;

 

long fpu_readLong(void)
{
long t;
t =12345;
return t;
}

 

When I build I get the following error:

 

.......

success

Failed

 

I am quite able to use other functions in the same file (SourceBoost_FPU.c). I get the feeling it may have something to do with the long data type.

long fpu_readLong(void)
{
long t;
t =12345;
return t;
}

void flash() {
long x;
x = fpu_readLong();
lata.0 = 1;
delay_ms(200);
lata.0 = 0;
delay_ms(200);
}

 

This works in 6.96. Try upgrading?

 

cheers

Ian.

I rolled back to 6.95 yesterday and it works in that as well.

 

Send in your files for Dave and Pavel to look at.

 

Cheers
