How to use uart Receive interruption (rda)

[qwwe]

Hello,
Now that I'm in the sisr example.
I wrote the program, I want to know how to clear the buffer we defined for the one at the beginning of the program.
To wastes in memory.
Such as arrays where once we put the null character to clear the garbage.

Depends on what you mean by clear the buffer. Generally to clear it from a buffer perspective, you just do

while(bkbhit){ bgetc(); }

And that reads out all the data resetting the buffer to empty. It doesn't actually put nulls anywhere.

If you actually want to put values in the buffer as well as set it to empty, then you need to:

1. disable the interrupt so you can't put received data on
2. do a for loop through the buffer, setting each array element to the value of your choosing
3. ensure that next_in = next_out to reset the buffer to empty
4. re-enable interrupts

Or (of course), to just reset the buffer so it is seen as having no data, with the minimum instructions, just use:
