Help I've lost my function

Guest · Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 10:14 am

Basically,
I have code which compiles just fine in 4.069 but after upgrading to 4.071 I am getting error 53 expecting function name. This error is not being generated by my own personally defined functions but for the predefined functions of the compiler:
output_high, output_x, disable_interrupts

I can uninstall and revert to 4.069, which I have but my coworkers are compiling on 4.071 so this is not a good idea for a long term fix. Any ideas or quick fixes.

Thanks in advance

We need the complete error message and a few line range around the line triggering the error.

*** Error 53 "source\Peripheral.c" Line 26(4,12): Expecting Function name

code

void ConfigPorts(void)
{
//clear all the ports
output_a(0x00); //clear ports <- this is 4,12
output_b(0x00);
output_c(0x00);
output_d(0x00);
output_e(0x00);
output_f(0x00);
output_g(0x00);

it also creates the same error for several other points in the program of the same type all to do with compiler defined functions. The functions that generate this error are also not consistent. The same error will occur over and over again but each time it will happen to different compiler defined functions within my code. Again, version 4.069 works just fine so I am inclined to say this is a compiler issue. My coworker is doing just fine in 4.071 so there is probably sometype of conflict occuring on my own PC with the compiler. I am running windows XP, have done a new install of 4.071 after deleting all configuation files and all relevent registry keys that are easily associated with CCS. Perhaps I should be addressing this to the support group at CCS but I was hoping that someone else has had this problem and has found a quick solution to it such as recreating a config file or changing a hidden registry value.

Thanks

1. Post your PIC.

2. Post a short test program that incorporates that code.
The program should show the #include, #fuses, #use delay(), main(),
etc. It should be compilable. Compile the program and confirm that
it shows the error, before you post it.

If I change the order of the code from:

I then tried something else, I replaced the previous code with the following:

Is this a large program ? In multiple files ?
This may be something that CCS has to look at. Email support and ask
if you can send them a Zip of your program. Ask if they can find the
problem. Give them your user reference number so they know you own
the compiler.

in this example I have a call to delay_ms which, when the code is compiled, generates the same type of error.

delay_ms(150);

*** Error 53 "source\J12J21.c" Line 1544(7,15): Expecting function name

I then replace the above call with the following

delay_ms(150);delay_ms(150);

and it compiles just fine. I then remove one of the calls and the error reoccurs.

This is very frustrating

This is still on going.

It is a large program with multiple files. My coworker gets the same problem with the code as well. I am really begining to hate this as I can spend up to an hour before getting a successful build. I am not joking. I really think that this means the CCS is a no go for us any longer, it is simply to costly to waste this much time in just getting the program to build.
