Array of function pointer
PostPosted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 2:39 am     Reply with quote

Hi all,

i'm using 4.057 version of compiler. Also, I am not so experienced on C. I have PIC18F4550 and i want to write a array of pointer. I have searched enough array of function pointers in C and i couldn't find working example with CCS compiler. is there any different or specific way to write array of function pointer in CCS? Basically what i need is to call functions with just numbers. So i thought the best way is using array of function pointers but i doesn't work. I tried dozens of examples for instance code below is not compiling. it gives an error to these expressions. Could you help me about writing proper way of array of function pointer in CCS.. thank you

Error at

int (*p[4]) (int x, int y);

and

p[0] = sum;

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int sum(int a, int b);
int subtract(int a, int b);
int mul(int a, int b);
int div(int a, int b);

int (*p[4]) (int x, int y);

int main(void)
{
  int result;
  int i, j, op;

  p[0] = sum; /* address of sum() */
  p[1] = subtract; /* address of subtract() */
  p[2] = mul; /* address of mul() */
  p[3] = div; /* address of div() */

  printf("Enter two numbers: ");
  scanf("%d %d", &i, &j);
 
  printf("0: Add, 1: Subtract, 2: Multiply, 3: Divide\n");
  do {
    printf("Enter number of operation: ");
    scanf("%d", &op);
  } while(op<0 || op>3);

  result = (*p[op]) (i, j);
  printf("%d", result);

  return 0;
}

int sum(int a, int b)
{
  return a + b;
}

int subtract(int a, int b)
{
  return a - b;
}

int mul(int a, int b)
{
  return a * b;
}

int div(int a, int b)
{
  if(b)
      return a / b;
  else
      return 0;

Getting the bracketting 'right', is absolutely critical on function pointer declarations. The original K&R examples will work, but layouts that are fine in other C's, give problems in CCS.
Use typedef, to avoid problems.
So:
Code:

typedef int (*intfptr) (int a,int b);

intfptr p[4];

As another 'comment', the real weakness, with the CCS implementation, is that the last time I tried, it wouldn't allow the array to be initialised at compile time, requiring it to be 'manually' initalised, as you do. A pain....

Best Wishes

Thanks for your help. typedef works for defining function pointer but i couldn't make array from it.
Code:

intfptr p[4]

doesn't work.
also i tried different version like
Code:

int (*intfptr[2])(int x)={NULL}

it doesn't work either. compiler is expected numeric expression after int

But that is not limited to the CCS implementation right? I think the HT-Soft compiler has the same problem.
