Convert v4 to v5

[dbasnett]

I would have posted in the v5 forum but I do not have permissions...

I am having a problem upgrading a program from v4 to v5. Here is the output:

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.

FINISHED

In the supplementary code I have:
#pragma DATA 0x200000,68,101,119,97,121,110,101,66
#pragma DATA _EEPROM,64,255,"Copyright - dewayne@yall.biz, 2011",255,255

The c code at line 3823 is

MX_UINT8 FCM_CheckAbutton(MX_UINT8 FCL_BUTPOW2, MX_UINT8 FCL_BUTVAL)
{

Hi

I guess it would tough to sort that without having a look at the code. If that is commercially sensitive code, you can PM me so that I can have a look what's going wrong?

Thanks,

[DavidA]

Indeed it is difficult to tell without seeing the code.

- Always please ensure you are running the latest version of Flowcode, 5.4 is the latest at the time of writing, Help >> Check for Updates to see whether there is an upgrade available.

- To help others diagnose your code it is good to use the new 'disable' feature on icons in v5 to try and narrow down where the problem code is occuring.

[dbasnett]

I am using the latest version of flowcode. Am I correct about the line number in the c code, i.e. this error message

TrainerTarget_v4.c(3823): error: missing right paren

is on line 3823 in the c code?

[dbasnett]

Also, what do I have to do to be able to post in the V5 forum?

[DavidA]

Hello,

Yes it does refer to that line in the C-code.

More information on upgrading forum accounts can be found here: http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... =46&t=9958

[dbasnett]

I duplicated the macro that appears to be causing the error, and the error changed line numbers. I have attached the macro.

Hello,

The C code does seem to be missing the final '}' to terminate the macro.

Therefore this error makes sense.

TrainerTarget_v4.c(4267): error: missing right paren

I expect this is a Flowcode issue but we will investigate and let you know.

[dbasnett]

Sorry. I think I did not copy the c correctly. Let me try again:

//Checks a button state

MX_UINT8 FCM_CheckAbutton(MX_UINT8 FCL_BUTPOW2, MX_UINT8 FCL_BUTVAL)
{

MX_UINT8 FCR_RETVAL;

// get button state
//Input: PORTB -> butRD
//TRISE.PSPMODE workaround
#if ('b' == 'e')
  trisb = trisb | (0xFF & 0x0F);
  FCV_BUTRD = portb & 0x0F;
#else
  trisb = trisb | 0xFF;
  FCV_BUTRD = portb;
#endif

// is button pressed?
//Decision: (butRD AND CheckAbutton.ButPow2) = CheckAbutton.ButPow2?
if ((FCV_BUTRD & FCL_BUTPOW2) == FCL_BUTPOW2)
{

// less than max?
//Decision: CheckAbutton.butVal < 255?
if (FCL_BUTVAL < 255)
{

// increment count
//Calculation:
// CheckAbutton.butVal = CheckAbutton.butVal + 1
FCL_BUTVAL = FCL_BUTVAL + 1;

} else {

//Comment:
//Button Pressed

// turn state on
//Calculation:
// butSTcur = butSTcur OR CheckAbutton.ButPow2
FCV_BUTSTCUR = FCV_BUTSTCUR | FCL_BUTPOW2;

}

} else {

// are we at 0?
//Decision: CheckAbutton.butVal > 0?
if (FCL_BUTVAL > 0)
{

// decrement count
//Calculation:
// CheckAbutton.butVal = CheckAbutton.butVal - 1
FCL_BUTVAL = FCL_BUTVAL - 1;

} else {

//Comment:
//Button Released

// turn state off
//Calculation:
// butSTcur = butSTcur AND (255 XOR CheckAbutton.ButPow2)
FCV_BUTSTCUR = FCV_BUTSTCUR & (255 ^ FCL_BUTPOW2);

}

}

// return value
//Calculation:
// CheckAbutton.Return = CheckAbutton.butVal
FCR_RETVAL = FCL_BUTVAL;

return (FCR_RETVAL);
}

I am so confused. I tried disabling the supplemental code but that had no affect. When I upgraded the program all I did was make a copy of the folder it was in, then open it with FC5.

[dbasnett]

I made a new copy of the folder and now I am getting this:

Return code = 120
Flowcode was unable to compile the flowchart's C code due to the following errors:


Then I went back to the original FC4 version, and opened it with FC4 and got the same error!!!!! I thought FC4 and FC5 were independent.

[DavidA]

Hello, v4 and v5 are seperate but there is some overlap with BoostC.

However this is not an error ive seen before...

Could you try the fix stated in this forum topic: http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... red#p33220

[Enamul]

Compiler can not be started without a host program (code 120)

I have faced this kind of issue once...restarting the machine solved my problem..

[dbasnett]

Rebooting took care of the 120 error. Now I am back to the original problem. Any ideas?

[Enamul]

I am not that much expert to look through code without actual fcf file. Can you please post the problem part of the code while disabling rest of the bit? I can see what is actually going wrong.

[dbasnett]

The part of the code is attached to one of my previous posts.

[DavidA]

Hello,

We would need to see the entire Flowcode file, if the program is business sensitive and you do not want to post it on a public forum then please PM me for an email address to send the program to, and we can assure you that either verbally or via an NDA if you wish, that we will diagnose the problem, then remove all trace of the program from our system.

[dbasnett]

Thanks to David! A new .fcd file and all is well.
