Using Pointer constant
PostPosted: Fri Apr 01, 2016 10:47 am     Reply with quote

Dear someone,

I had code using pointer. My Pic is 18F4620. But i don't know when i compile it, I meet a error. Please refer to help me.
Quote:

tft320qvt_9341.h" Line 38(43,47): Expecting an identifier
tft320qvt_9341.h" Line 38(49,50): Expecting a (


in tft320qvt_9341.h file i wrote defines function as below
Code:
void LCD_ShowString(int16 x,int16 y,const int8 *p); 

in the tft320qvt_9341.c
Code:

void LCD_ShowString(int16 x,int16 y,const int8 *p)
{   
    while(*p!='\0')
    {       
        if(x>LCD_W-16){x=0;y+=16;}
        if(y>LCD_H-16){y=x=0;
        LCD_Clear(RED);}
        LCD_ShowChar(x,y,*p,0);
        x+=8;
        p++;
    } 
}

main.c file i wrote
Code:

void lcd_test()
{   
   u16 lx,ly;
   BACK_COLOR=WHITE;
   POINT_COLOR=RED;   

LCD_ShowString(10,35,"info");
LCD_ShowString(10,55,"LCD_W:");       LCD_ShowNum(70,55,LCD_W,3);
LCD_ShowString(110,55,"LCD_H:");
LCD_ShowNum(160,55,LCD_H,3);   
   lx=10;ly=75;         
LCD_ShowString(lx,ly,"VX:");lx+=40;LCD_ShowNum(lx,ly,vx,5);               
   lx+=60;
LCD_ShowString(lx,ly,"Vy:");lx+=40;LCD_ShowNum(lx,ly,vy,5);               
   lx=10;ly=95;
LCD_ShowString(lx,ly,"CHX:");lx+=40;LCD_ShowNum(lx,ly,chx,5);               
   lx+=60;
LCD_ShowString(lx,ly,"CHY:");lx+=40;
LCD_ShowNum(lx,ly,chy,5);
}

Thanks for help,

Don't.
Just keep it simple.

Get rid of the const in the declaration (won't work - the pointer can't ever be a constant).

Just add "#device PASS_STRINGS=IN_RAM"
right up the top of your declarations (just after your processor include).

This tells the compiler to 'virtualise' constant strings so they are passed to functions as if they are in RAM. You can then use standard C declarations.

Dear Ttelmah,

After i add code "#device PASS_STRINGS=IN_RAM" , and remove const in var pointer, compile ok but RAM not enough

*** Error 74 "main.c" Line 105(1,2): Not enough RAM for all variables

maybe when i use "#device PASS_STRINGS=IN_RAM", the RAM of PIC will use to all char?

How i can improve that ? (or connect to external RAM)

Regards,
PCM programmer

You're using 18F4620 which has 3968 bytes of RAM. What are you doing
that's using up all that ram ? Do you have large global arrays ?

I'm using global array to display image to LCD, i think it will use ROM to save data, if i use local & global array or variables are using RAM,

thanks,

How is this array declared?.
How is it used?.

PASS_STRINGS should not be having to virtualise this array unless you are using it in some way like passing it to a function.

The other thing is you are not using ANSI mode?.
If you use ANSI mode, 'const' no longer stores data in ROM, it copies this to RAM. That would result in huge RAM usage.

I used fonts for LCD like code below:

file fonts_tft320.h
Code:

//#ifndef __FONTS_TFT320_H
//#define __FONTS_TFT320_H

extern unsigned char asc2_1608[1520];
                       
//#endif 

file fonts_tft320.c
Code:

#include <fonts_tft320.h>

int8 asc2_1608[1520]={
0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,

I thought you said the font was const?...

Currently it uses 1520 bytes of RAM.

Why are you using extern?. Extern is _only_ for use when you are compiling using multiple separate compilation units.
