Error when compiling to Hex

[jadiflow]

Hi,

I receive an error when compiling to hex:

/quote
C:\.....\G2\quad G2-2.c(1174): error: missing semicolon
C:\.....\G2\quad G2-2.c(1174): error: failure

failure

Return code = 1

Flowcode was unable to compile the flowchart's C code due to the following errors:

If your flowchart contains C code, please review this carefully. If your flowchart contains no C-code or you have thoroughly reviewed the code, contact Technical Support.
/unquote

It compiles to C without errors.

Edit: This is the offending line (the 'void... is line 1175)

//Supplementary implementations


void main()
{

I can mail the source to tech support, but would prefer not to post here.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I have isolated the problem to a single C statement. If it is in, I get the error described above. If it is out, it compiles to HEX without errors. The statement is:

#pragma DATA 0x2100, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78 ;

to preset some eeprom memory locations.

What am I doing wrong here??

Hello Jan

The ; at the end of the line of C code is not required. Hopefully this should fix your problem.

[jadiflow]

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Same error.
If I enclose the statement in curly braces before/after, the error is: 'missing right parenthes'

Hello Jan

Which chip are you trying to compile to?

[jadiflow]

16F865

[Benj]

Hello Jan

The 16F865 is not supported by Flowcode. Is this chip name correct?

[jadiflow]

Errr..... 16F685

Hello Jan

Place the code into the defines section of the supplementary code window rather then inside a C code block.

Hello Ben,

Sorry for the delay in replying; I have been on a vacation.
Indeed, placing the #pragma for the EEPROM preset in an AddDefines component gets rid of the error message.

Thanks,

Hello again Ben,

So now I have an AddDefines macro at the start of my program, to enable the AddDefines 'component'.

There are two defines, for the purpose of presetting the EEPROM contents at the moment of downloading the hex code into the 16F685:
#pragma DATA 0x2100, 0x55
#pragma DATA 0x2110, 0x96, 0x96, 0x96, 0x96, 0x96, 0x96, 0x96, 0x96

The values do, however, not show up in the EPROM component window when I simulate the flowchart.
I'm not sure whether it is implemented that way though; it only would seem logical to me that it would appear.
Subsequently in the program I read these preset locations and take actions accordingly.
It works when I manually preset these EEPROM locations before the sim.

Can you enlighten me?

Thanks,

Jan Didden

Flowcode does not simulate code in the C icons, "AddDefines" component or the "Supplementary Code" window.

[jadiflow]

Steve, thanks. Are you guys considering to implement it in a future version?

Jan Didden

[Steve]

Accurately simulating all C code would be quite tricky, but I can see that implementing certain bits could be beneficial and fairly easy (e.g. the "#pragma data" statements).

So yes - I'll look at allowing you to preset the EEPROM values within the simulation for v4.

Sterling! Thanks,
