function not void and does not return a value
PostPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:39 am     Reply with quote

can somebody help me.why when I compile this program, error was shown.

#include <16F876A.h>
#device ICD=TRUE
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#include <can-18xxx8.c>

#define GREEN_LED PIN_A5
#define YELLOW_LED PIN_B4
#define RED_LED PIN_B1
#define PUSH_BUTTON PIN_A4

light_one_led(int led) {
output_high(GREEN_LED);
output_high(YELLOW_LED);
output_high(RED_LED);
switch(led){
case 0 : output_low(GREEN_LED); break;
case 1 : output_low(YELLOW_LED); break;
case 2 : output_low(RED_LED); break;
}
}

wait_for_one_press() {
while(input(PUSH_BUTTON));
while(!input(PUSH_BUTTON));
}

void main(){
while(TRUE) {
light_one_led(0);
wait_for_one_press();
light_one_led(1);
wait_for_one_press();
light_one_led(2);
wait_for_one_press();
}
}

it said "function not void and does not return a value light_one_led" and
"function not void and does not return a value wait_for_one_press".

If I remember rightly, in C subroutines not explicitly given a return type are assumed to be functions returning int. Try:

Code:

void light_one_led(int led) {
    output_high(GREEN_LED);
    output_high(YELLOW_LED);
    output_high(RED_LED);
    switch(led){
        case 0 : output_low(GREEN_LED); break;
        case 1 : output_low(YELLOW_LED); break;
        case 2 : output_low(RED_LED); break;
    }
}


...and please use the
Code:
blah
formatting to display code.

What we mean is that your posted source code is more readable when you use the special code formatting tags from this forum. For more info read http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode. The code tag is described half way down the page.

You're also going to find that your routine to wait for the button press then wait for it not pressed has a "minor" flaw - if your pushbutton bounces like most do, then it will go through there as many times as it bounces. Probably not an issue here, but something to be aware of when you expect a single "press" to do something only once.
