| passing pointer array doesn't work |

Hi I have following program I am trying to test on PIC16f1937.
Following program works perfectly:
| Code: |
char compstr[] = "|";
char str[30]='test|string';
char * pch;
char * argv[12], argc=0;
argv[0] = strtok (str,compstr);
argc = 0;
while(argc < MAX_ARGC){
if(argv[argc] == NULL)
break;
argv[++argc] = strtok(NULL, compstr);
}
//Trap Null Command
if(argc == 0)
printf("Command Null Error\n");
while(argc--){
printf ("\n\r%s",argv[argc]);
}
printf("\n\rDone\n"); |
now when i try to do modular approach with function it doesn't work.
| Code: |
main(){
char compstr[] = "|";
char str[30]='test|string';
char * pch;
char * argv1[12], argc1=0;
string_tokenizer(str,compstr,argv1, argc1);
}
int string_tokenizer(char *tokenstring, char *delimiter, char *argv2[], int argc2){
//char * argv[MAX_ARGC], argc;
//Tokenize the data till end of the string or Max. number of token arguments
//allowed
argv2[0] = strtok (tokenstring,delimiter);
argc2 = 0;
while(argc2 < MAX_TOKEN_ARGUMENTS){
if(argv2[argc2] == NULL)
break;
argv2[++argc2] = strtok(NULL, delimiter);
}
//Trap Token size exceed
if(argv2[argc2] != NULL)
return -1;
//Trap Null Command
if(argc2 == 0)
return 1;
//testing
while(argc2--){
printf ("\n\r%s",argv2[argc2]);
}
printf("\n\rDone\n");
return 0;
}

Same program I run on the visual C++ platform it does work. Any idea?
Thank you.

correct program prints string and test.

I don't believe you tested this program because you have at least one
line in it that doesn't compile, as shown in the program below.
The first error that CCS gives is:
| Quote: | Error 5 "pcm_test.c" Line 8(14,16): Character constant constructed incorrectly
|
That's because you don't have the array init string in double quotes.
| Code: |
#include <16F1937.H>
#fuses INTRC_IO, NOWDT,BROWNOUT, PUT
#use delay(clock=4M)
//======================================
void main(void)
{
char str[30]='test|string'; // *** This line causes the error
while(1);
|
Then you say it works in C++. OK, so I compiled the following program
in MSVC++ 6.0. I tried compiling it both as a .C and a .CPP file, and I
got the same error each time:
| Quote: | | error C2015: too many characters in constant |
Again, it wants to see double quotes.
| Code: |
#include <stdio.h>
//======================================
void main(void)
{
char str[30]='test|string';
while(1);
}
|
If you make an assertion, we're actually going to check it on here.
We don't fool around. You need to make accurate posts if you want help.
Also post your compiler version. |

To PCM Programmer:
Yes you are right. When I wrote the code on forum post I copied wrong version of it. Correct one is double quoted.
| Code: |
char compstr[] = "|";
char str[20] = "test|string";
char * pch;
char * argv1[12], argc1=0;
char * argv[12], argc=0;
|
Compiler Version: 4.135
And sorry I am not here to waste anyone's time. I just baffled by the fact that why modular approach didn't work which I wanted to use. I will keep this in mind to keep the post accurate and proof read before posting it.

Can you post the #define statements for these constants ?
MAX_ARGC
MAX_TOKEN_ARGUMENTS |

#define MAX_ARGC 8
#define MAX_TOKEN_ARGUMENTS 8

I think this is the same old problem with passing an array of pointers.
There are some threads on this in the archives. I didn't want to go
search for them all. I remembered a previous solution was to make
the function declaration be for an array of int16's, instead of char pointers.
Then it works. You get the output shown below. For this PIC, the
compiler automatically uses 16-bit bit pointers, hence the array of int16's.
| Code: | #include <16F1937.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,NOBROWNOUT,NOPUT
#use delay(clock=4M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, UART1, ERRORS)
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_ARGC 8
#define MAX_TOKEN_ARGUMENTS 8
//==========================================
// *** Work-around: Note the declaration of argv2 is for int16's:
signed int string_tokenizer(char *tokenstring, char *delimiter, int16 argv2[MAX_ARGC], int argc2)
{
//Tokenize the data till end of the string or Max. number of token arguments
//allowed
argv2[0] = strtok (tokenstring, delimiter);
argc2 = 0;
while(argc2 < MAX_TOKEN_ARGUMENTS)
{
if(argv2[argc2] == NULL)
break;
argv2[++argc2] = strtok(NULL, delimiter);
}
// Trap Token size exceed
if(argv2[argc2] != NULL)
return -1;
//Trap Null Command
if(argc2 == 0)
return 1;
//testing
while(argc2--){
printf ("\n\r%s",argv2[argc2]);
}
// printf("Done\r");
return 0;
}
//===========================
void main()
{
char compstr[] = "|";
char str[20] = "test|string";
char * argv1[12], argc1=0;
string_tokenizer(str,compstr,argv1, argc1);
while(1);
