OK I got a funny error...

Code:

typedef int (*pFunc)(void);
typedef struct {
   CHAR name[16];
   pFunc ptrFunc;
} MenuItem;


int one(void)
{
   return 0;
}

MenuItem  testMenu[2]={{"one", 0}, {"two",0}};

void main()
{
     pFunc compare;

     compare=one;
     testMenu[0].ptrFunc=compare;
}



This gave the error:
Quote:
*** Error 44 "***.c" Line 283(0,1): Internal Error - Contact CCS LABEL SCR=3322


I also tried doing a direct setting:
Code:
testMenu[0].ptrFunc=one;


Which gave me errors about invaild data types..

Troll Trampas Very Happy

Okay here you go Trampas
Code:

/*****************************************************************************

// take up.  Note that a BRA is usually used for small programs.  However
// on a larger program a CALL instruction might be used which will
// require 2 additional bytes

Mark,

That is great! Rather tricky way of doing it but it is pretty neat.

I think I will do more with switch case statements as it is more portable and easier when others have to understand my code.

I really hope CCS is considering adding/fixing the pointers to functions.

After all that work and you are not even going to use it Crying or Very sad

This might be useful to someone trying to port over some code. It is also great for creating "CommandHandlers" for serial communications. The string part is the command and the function pointer is that command's handler.

Mark,

I do appericate your efforts and know that you were kidding... Smile I do that it is a neat way to get around the problem, just not clean.

For other readers who do not fully grasp what I mean, I am sure Mark does, here is an example of a simple command parser using pointers to functions.

Code:


UINT version()
{
     //print version number
}
UINT build()
{
    //prints build date and number
}

typedef struct {
    CHAR cmd[20];
    UINT (*ptrFunc)(void);
} Command;

Command cmds[]={
{"ver", version},
{"build", build},
{"\0",0}
};

UINT cmd_handler(CHAR *inStr)
{
    UINT i;

    i=0;
    while (cmds[i].ptrFunc!=0)
    {
         if (strcmp(inStr),cmds[i].cmd)==0)
         {
              return (*cmds[i].ptrFunc)(); //call function
          }
     }
   
     printf("Invaild Command\n");
     return 0;



So here in this code the use of the pointer to functions makes it really easy to add additional commands. That is you just add the commands to the structure/array.

I actually implement my commands parser with a little more advance features. For example I pass argc and argv parameters to the command handler functions which gives more controll....

I even include a little piece of "help" text

Code:

/* local typedefs */
typedef rom struct  _cmd_t
{
  const rom char  *pStr;  /* command */
  void (*pFunction) (enum porttypes port, char *pCmd, char *pArgs); /* command function */

  { { "relay"     },   RelayCommand,     { "relay settings"         } },
  { { "input"     },   InputCommand,     { "input settings"         } },
  { { "photocell" },   PhotocellCommand, { "photocell settings"     } },
  { { "remote"    },   RemoteCommand,    { "remote input settings"  } },
  { { "mask"      },   MaskCommand,      { "input mask settings"    } },

  { { NULL        },   NULL,             { NULL                     } },
};

static void VerboseHelpHandler(
  enum porttypes  port,           /* FIX ME: add comment */
  COMMAND_DATA    *pCommandData)  /* FIX ME: add comment */
{
  char  buf[MAX_LINE_LEN];  /* string to print */

  /* spew the commands and their help */
  while (pCommandData->pStr != NULL)
  {
    if (pCommandData->pDescription != NULL)
    {
      sprintf(buf, "%-10S - %S\r\n", pCommandData->pStr, pCommandData->pDescription);
      HostWrite(port, buf);
    }

    pCommandData++;
  }

  HostWriteRomString(port, "\r\n");

  return;
}

static BOOLEAN CommandHandler(

  char            *pArgs,         /* FIX ME: add comment */
  COMMAND_DATA    *pCommandData)  /* FIX ME: add comment */
{
  static char cmd[MAX_LINE_LEN];  /* local buffer */
  BOOLEAN     found = 0;          /* valid command? */

  if (pArgs)
  {
    /* parse and remove the only the first command */
    pArgs = stptok(pArgs, cmd, sizeof(cmd), " ");

    /* find and execute command function */
    while (pCommandData->pStr != NULL)
    {
      if (strcmpipgm2ram(cmd, pCommandData->pStr) == 0)
      {
        if (pCommandData->pFunction != NULL)
        {
          (void)strupr(cmd);
          (void)pCommandData->pFunction(port, cmd, pArgs);
        }

        found = 1;
        break;
      }

      pCommandData++;
    }
  }

  return (found);
}


It sure will be nice when CCS finally fully implements function pointers and pointers to const strings!
